Two things landed on ImpactMojo this week, and both come from the same idea: the courses should meet you where you actually work — on paper, offline, in a workshop, or right at the start of a new topic you have to get up to speed on fast.
Printable Course Notes for every flagship
All 17 flagship courses are, and will stay, free to study online. But reading on a screen and owning a document you can work from are different things. So every flagship now has a companion Course Notes PDF: the complete course — every module’s core ideas, its concept diagram, worked examples, and open-access key readings — laid out as one clean, print-ready reference you keep.
Print it, mark it up, take it into a training, keep it on the shelf. No login, no connection, no distraction — just the course, in your hands. Each is ₹350, delivered to your inbox by UPI within a day. The price isn’t for the information (that’s free) — it’s for the finished artefact, and it helps keep the rest of the library open.
Find them on the Products page, or click “Course Notes” on any course.
What’s actually inside
Each Course Notes PDF is the whole course, condensed into a reference you can work from — not a slide dump. For every module you get its core ideas stated plainly, the concept diagram that anchors it, one or two worked examples grounded in South Asian practice, and the key readings (all open-access, so the citations actually go somewhere). The MEL notes run to about 100 pages; Public Choice, denser, to 129; the shorter flagships land nearer 40. They’re typeset for print — generous margins to write in, a clean single column, and diagrams that survive a black-and-white printer.
Who reaches for the printed version
We built these because we kept hearing the same thing from practitioners: the screen is where you learn, but paper is where you work. A few patterns we’ve seen already:
- Facilitators print the notes for a session, mark the three ideas they’ll actually cover, and leave the rest as a handout participants keep.
- People prepping for an interview or a new brief want the whole arc of a topic in one document they can skim on a train, not seventeen browser tabs.
- Teams in low-connectivity field offices keep a printed set on the shelf, so the reference doesn’t depend on the wifi.
None of this replaces the free online course — it sits beside it. The web version stays the place to learn interactively, with the lexicon, the AI study companion and progress tracking. The PDF is simply the form that travels.
Four new 101 courses
The 101 Series — free, self-paced interactive slide decks — grows to 51 courses with four timely additions built for how development work actually looks in 2026:
- GenAI for Practitioners — how to use large language models (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) responsibly in your work: what they’re good at, how to prompt well, and the hallucination, bias and data-protection risks you must manage.
- Data Protection & the DPDP Act — India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 for NGOs: consent, the rights of the people in your data, your obligations as a data fiduciary, and what to do now.
- Safeguarding & PSEA — protection from sexual exploitation, abuse and harassment: the standards, the red lines, and survivor-centred reporting and response.
- Disability Inclusion — rights-based, twin-track inclusion: the CRPD and the RPWD Act, accessible programming, and data that counts everyone.
Each is a native-HTML deck with a light/dark theme and keyboard navigation — free forever, no sign-in.
And under the hood
Alongside these, every flagship module now opens a theme-aware concept diagram and carries a verified open-access key reading, the whole site shares one consistent top bar and footer, and all flagship content is now served straight from our database. Small things, but they add up to courses that feel like one coherent library.
As always, everything core stays free. Browse it all in the catalog, or start with the 101 Series.
