Self-Guided Courses and Collections
Courses are a learning sequence, with lessons intended to be done in order.
Collections are groupings of videos and articles that have information about a particular topic. Some videos or articles touch on several topics and show up in more than one collection. A video or article in a given collection might not be solely about that topic, but will at least include more than a passing mention.
