In the following tables you'll find a summary of the templates available in this module and in the following one, just to give you an overview and provide some synthetic info about the effort required in the design and delivery phases, and if materials are required to implement the activities. Please remember that these intervals might vary consistently according to the parameters of your specific field and the duration of your course and of your lessons, so consider them no more than a suggestion, just to give you an idea before you start considering them.
