Managing Collections

edu-sharing collections help you organize content more easily and group it for educational purposes.

To do so, you can arrange the objects stored in edu-sharing in a hierarchical collection structure. With these structures, for example, complete curriculum structures can be mapped. 

Unlike when working with folders, objects can be assigned to any number of collections. For example, a worksheet on radioactive decay can be assigned to the "Physics 9th Grade" collection and to the "Biology 10th Grade" collection at the same time. 

When an object is added to a collection only a reference to the original object will be placed in the collection. The object itself will not be copied. 

Collections thus offer an alternative access to objects stored in edu-sharing and invite you to browse. 

You can create private and public collections or limit visibility to your organization (e.g., school).

edu-sharing collections can be

• created,
• edited,
• filled with content and
• deleted.
