Explanation of Training:

The students have been provided with the model document that they are going to recreate using Google Docs. They have also been provided with a gradesheet that acts as a step-by-step guide; if the student follows each of the steps, they will successfully recreate the model. Finally, look at the video tutorials (below) - notice how each step exactly matches the steps called for in the gradesheet. The video tutorials teach them the skills that make up each step on the gradesheet.
