Hi Chris

The upgrade will be based on Moodle 2.2 , there is no definite date for the release of  Totara 2.2. (the window expected is the second quarter this year)

Are you wanting to map cohorts to courses for enrolment purposes - if so it is possible to assign courses to a program and to assign program to a cohort.

It is also possible to assign a program to a learning plan and using the devplan enrolment plugin this allows people to only enrol on courses that have been approved on their learning plan.
