Difference between joining a cohort and starting now?

On the LCL homepage you can choose between signing up for a cohort or starting right away on your own. The cohort model waits for a critical mass of learners to sign up and then launches a 6-week long email campaign that structures the LCL experience more like a course and encourages collaboration among peers. As all of the assignments and conversations occur online, taking part in a cohort will ensure that there are other learners learning alongside you. If you’re more interested in exploring one particular element of LCL (such as peer learning) or don’t want to wait to get started, the second option is for you. Scrolling down on the homepage, you can jump right in to any of the six creative learning modules. All of the materials are available to anybody with internet access - there is no sign-up required.
