Collections on the Scolab Platform: A Flexible and Adaptable Tool to Suit Your Needs
A collection on the Scolab platform functions like a personalized workbook, organized in a modular way to meet your specific needs. Here’s how it’s structured:
The Collection Itself:
The collection has a title of your choice. For example, you can name it “Stage 1 Homework” or any other title that suits you.

Chapters:
Each collection can contain one or more chapters. By default, these subsections are called "chapters," but you are free to rename them as needed.

Units:
Inside each chapter, you’ll find units. These units group the different activities or exercises you have selected. Just like with chapters, you can rename the units however you like.

This structure can be used for various types of organization. You can adapt it to suit the timeframe of your planning, whether it's for a few activities over a week or a structure spanning several months. It can align with a full-year plan or be tailored to more specific, short-term goals.
With collections, the Scolab platform allows you to organize and structure your activities according to your needs, without being limited to a single method.
Here are some examples of collections:
A collection named "1st Semester"
Chapter renamed "Week 6" or "Bonus Challenge"... or any other title of your choice (also applicable to units).
Unit renamed "Classwork"
Unit renamed "Algebra"
Or, as seen in the image below, a collection named "Homework".
Chapter renamed "Geometry"
Unit renamed "Week 1 - Day 3"
