# Learnexify Course Instances
A course instance in Learnexify refers to a specific, active batch or session designed for student enrollment and instruction. It acts as the operational hub for managing schedules, participant limits, daily timings, and academic workflows within a defined timeframe. Essentially, course instances allow for the structured organization and management of all active learning sessions in the system.
