Browse Curated Collections
A Curated Collection is a Collection created by subject matter experts and includes the best material in a specific discipline from Pearson and other sources. Selecting content from a Curated Collection and copying it into a Collection you create can save you time.
By default, there are hundreds of Collections you can browse. To narrow down your selections, you can filter by discipline, subdiscipline, and course to remove any items you do not want to view.
