Abdulmuizz HamzatandRotimi Best b599f1a017 chore(docs): migrate the docs site from Fumadocs to Blume (#753)
* Update documentation for ClassroomIO: change Fumadocs to Blume, revise MDX format conventions, and clarify sidebar navigation requirements.

* docs: update README and scripts for improved preview and error handling

* docs: update Discord link in configuration and documentation

* docs: add token-auth route and update documentation formatting

* Fix formatting in auto-comment-issues.yml

* Fix JSON syntax by adding a comma

* fix(docs): declare Blume's Astro build deps so Cloudflare build resolves them

blume build generates an Astro project under apps/docs/.blume/ that imports
astro, @astrojs/mdx, @tailwindcss/vite, tailwindcss, @tailwindcss/typography,
@shikijs/twoslash and @scalar/astro. Under pnpm's isolated node_modules these
are nested inside blume and not resolvable from the docs app, so a clean
--frozen-lockfile build (Cloudflare) fails at 'Cannot find module astro/config'.
Declare them directly in @cio/docs, pinned to blume's resolved versions.

* refactor(docs): update API reference paths and documentation for clarity

* fix: change platofrm url to docs home page

* Refactor documentation for self-hosting ClassroomIO

- Removed the Supabase Cloud setup guide as it is no longer needed.
- Updated the Enterprise SSO documentation to include a reference link for SSO & licensing.

- Introduced a comprehensive configuration index for self-hosted ClassroomIO, detailing environment variables and their usage.
- Added documentation for optional integrations including Google OAuth, OpenAI, and Unsplash.
- Documented the generation and usage of required secrets for ClassroomIO.
- Created a section for SSO & licensing, detailing the requirements for Enterprise features.
- Added object storage configuration documentation, covering both bundled MinIO and external S3-compatible services.
- Documented versioning and upgrade processes for ClassroomIO.
- Updated the Coolify and Docker self-hosting guides to streamline configuration references and upgrade instructions.
- Enhanced the Railway self-hosting guide with links to relevant configuration sections.
- Updated token authentication documentation to reference SSO & licensing.

* Add comprehensive guides for ClassroomIO features and functionalities

- Introduced a new guide for the Student Dashboard, detailing navigation and features available to students.
- Added a guide on using Tags for organizing and filtering courses within ClassroomIO.
- Created a guide on how to take attendance in courses, including marking attendance and related functionalities.
- Developed a Terminology guide to clarify key terms used throughout ClassroomIO.
- Implemented a Token Auth guide for signing users into ClassroomIO from external applications using JWT.

- Added new images to support the Dokploy deployment guide.
- Updated asset packaging script to handle redirects for the new guide structure.
- Fixed footer link to point to the correct Getting Started guide.

* chore: uprage version

* feat(docs): add DigitalOcean deployment guide and flatten guides structure

- Add a guide for deploying ClassroomIO on DigitalOcean using Docker Compose
  and Caddy for automatic HTTPS.
- List DigitalOcean as a deployment option in the self-hosting index.
- Move guides out of content/docs/guides into content/docs (student-dashboard,
  tags, terminology, token-auth, what-is-classroomio, audience, cohorts,
  community, course, enterprise-sso, mcp, organization, quickstart/*).
- Rename home.mdx to index.mdx.
- Update package-assets script to emit redirects for the old guides paths.

title: Cohorts
description: Learn what Cohorts are in ClassroomIO, how goals work, and what students see in the Cohorts view.
---
**Cohorts** group multiple courses into a structured learning path. Use them when students need to complete a set of courses toward a shared outcome (onboarding, certification prep, role-based training). Individual courses still live in the LMS; cohorts add goals and a dedicated **Cohorts** view for students.
## Cohorts vs courses
| Concept | Scope | Student view |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Course** | Single content container with lessons | **Home**, **My Learning**, **Explore** |
| **Cohort** | Multiple courses with shared goals | **Cohorts** in the LMS |
A student can be enrolled in courses without belonging to a cohort, and in a cohort that references several courses. See [Student Dashboard](/student-dashboard) for how those views fit together.
## Admin workflow
From the admin dashboard:
1. Create a cohort and add courses to it.
2. Configure cohort **Settings** (metadata, visibility, assignments).
3. Add **Goals** that define what success looks like.
4. Assign students to the cohort (existing students or by email invite).
Students assigned to a cohort see it under **Cohorts** in the LMS.
## Cohort goal types
Goals measure progress across the cohort's courses. Supported types:
| Type | What it measures |
| --- | --- |
| **Complete all** | Every selected course is completed |
| **N of M** | A minimum number of selected courses completed |
| **Score** | Per-learner score threshold on every selected course |
| **Pass rate** | Team-wide pass-rate threshold |
| **Readiness** | No deadline; tracks completion without a due date |
Deadlines can be absolute, relative to when the student joins, recurring, or none.
## Student experience
In the LMS, students open **Cohorts** to see cohorts they belong to. Each cohort hub includes:
- **Newsfeed** — updates from instructors
- **Courses** — linked courses with progress
- **Goals** — personal goal status when goals are configured
:::info
Legacy deployments may still have data in the original `program` tables. Run the migration script `pnpm --filter @cio/db migrate:programs-to-cohorts` after applying the cohort schema migration to copy existing data into the new tables without dropping the legacy tables.
