Module for Collecting

The hub comes with a module, mod_collect, for collecting a number of content types on the hub: resources, wiki pages, forum threads, courses, publications, and content articles. This module can be enabled via the administrative Module Manager. Once the module is enabled, a “Collect” button will appear on the single "view" pages for the various types of content.
