Sources and methods

Thecohortroom gathers its news from published feeds and indexes of established news publications. These sources are selected for their coverage of the three core themes that form the site's spine: the provider of an educational programme, the course content, and the formal recognition status of the resulting credential. This ensures all incoming reporting is relevant to the site's focus on practical educational pathways for its LatAm audience.

Each news story is processed with automated assistance to create a concise, factual summary. The original text is rewritten into plain prose to highlight key developments and implications for prospective students. Every summary is clearly credited to the publication from which the originating report was sourced, maintaining a transparent chain of attribution.

When a factual claim appears in only one publication, it is treated as an unverified assertion. Such information is not presented as established fact within news summaries. It may be noted as a reported claim pending corroboration from other independent sources, ensuring the site's content remains reliable and avoids amplifying unchallenged statements.

The site's reference pages, such as those for a specific Provider or Course, are built differently. They are constructed from stable, verified facts compiled into a structured data table. Each page states its core information plainly and includes a single, credited photograph. These reference pages for providers, subjects, certifications, and other topics are refreshed systematically to reflect any changes in status, recognition, or availability.

Coverage across all sections, including news and reference pages, is refreshed on a regular schedule. This continuous update process ensures the information presented on thecohortroom remains current and accurate for users comparing programmes and investigating educational opportunities.
