You can use Rhea for courses, research groups, student organizations, student projects, individual learning activities, 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 Rhea:Copyrights for more details).
