Yes, anyone can start a one month, risk-free trial. This gives you access to all the features to get started. You can invite others into your team space, to evaluate together. You'll have access to the collection of learning strategies and can always export your designs in common formats.

While a spreadsheet offers a lot of flexibility, this can also become a limitation. Eventually you'll find your office tools have hit a limit in collaboration, pedagogic depth or how to reuse great design ideas. We took all that, and more, and made Coursensu.

A lot of very talented people use spreadsheets in many creative ways. Some of that inspired Coursensu but the limitations of office tools does slow you down. Our specialist tool wins because it's designed with purpose - to help you make impactful learning.

Yes. You can import and export .csv to Coursensu. This is so you can get designs into, and out of, our platform to support the full  workflow / lifecycle. There's nothing wrong with a .csv (at the right time).

Learning design spreadsheets are often based on templates. They can be powerful but can also miss valuable components, such as checking for goal alignment, collaboration workflows and pedagogical mappings. These all help produce a more impactful learning experience.

It might feel faster to start with a spreadsheet, but then the next step in your workflow will be to collaborate with stakeholders, then put content into the learning management system (or similar).

Coursensu exports designs into many formats automatically, saving everyone more time in the long-run.
