Bug Description
Email notifications should be more descriptive. When a collection is shared, the notification email should say "a collection has been shared with you" (rather than just listing the first Page in the collection).
Our students often share pages with their faculty mentors. We are trying to get students to use collections more, because they are often sharing 3-4 related pages with their mentor at a time.
The faculty mentors are confused about whether or not each student is sharing individual pages with them, or a collection, because the notification emails do not differentiate between the two. When a students shares a collection, the faculty's notification email only lists the first page in the collection.

Currently, Mahara 17.10, the notification includes all the pages that are part of a collection. Rather than listing them all, it should be the collection title that is listed. When you have a collection consisting of more than 3 pages, the notification gets unnecessarily long.
