>But in gauging the longer-term trend of what’s really happening with the fires, it’s necessary to go back much further.

Meta point: isn't it bizarre that people are so eager to draw conclusions without any underlying evidence?
I think the article missed to attribute Cohort-Based Courses to Wes Kao, the co-founder of Maven (the website's competitor), who first coined that term.
I first learned about CBC from this article: https://future.com/cohort-based-courses/
