Create a Google account and go to the “Documents” section in order to create an online spreadsheet. Open a new file to start filling it with the information you need.
Describe the activities, tasks, lessons, timetable and competences related to the module you want to design. Insert all the above information in different columns and cells in order to have a linear connection.
You can then use different tools to create formulas (to calculate the total number of hours), filters (to create sub groups of different elements), diagrams and charts (to highlight certain data). It is also possible to add images and links.
Once you have finished your work, you can save and download the file on your device, and/or share it with peers and/or trainees.
