How to use Rhea
The answer to the question "how can I use Rhea" depends on whether you are currently a member of the Purdue community (student, instructor, faculty, etc.) or not. If you have a Purdue Career account, then you are considered a member of the Purdue community, which gives you the right to directly post content on Rhea. If you do not have a Purdue Career account, then you cannot directly post content on Rhea. However, you can freely browse all of Rhea's material, and they are indirect ways in which you can contribute/benefit from Rhea. See below.
For Members of the Purdue Community (i.e., those with a Purdue Career Account)
Using Rhea is free!
That's right, it's entirely free! In fact, you might even be able to make money with Rhea, as one of our philosophy is to give back to the students whenever we can. (See for example our current calls for software bounties.

What kind of content is appropriate for Rhea?
You can use Rhea for courses, research groups, student organizations, student projects, individual learning activities, virtual poster sessions, getting in touch with other Purdue community members, etc. If what you want to post on Rhea can be related to the curriculum material and/or help other people learn, then it is most likely appropriate (as long as it is not copyrighted of course, see Our Copyrights Rules for more details).
