  • They are organized within broader subjects for ease of use and sharing.
  • For example, a Collection titled  ‘Introduction to Algebra’ would be grouped under the subject ‘Math’.  
  • On the LearnCloud website, Content is grouped into Collections, which are then grouped into Project Libraries for usage on the Rumie tablet or app.
