About NanoLearning
NanoLearning is a marketplace for small learning objects, and some tools for creating, aggregating, and sharing those objects. We want to enable the world’s learning. NanoLearning members can also create NanoLists, which can include any combination of NanoLearning objects that you create, or somebody else created. You place them in your own specified order. To facilitate the marketplace, we request and display some personal information to other members, which allow members to identify each other and share in the creation of NanoLearning objects.
NanoLearning cares deeply about online privacy If you have any questions concerning this privacy policy, please email us at privacy@NanoLearning.com.
