Learning Tracks

Content is organized into 6 tracks:

1. MEL & Research — Monitoring, evaluation, qualitative/quantitative methods

Flagship Course Structure

Each flagship course follows a consistent structure:

• 13 modules (approximately)

• Lexicon of 50–65 key terms

• South Asian context — examples from India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka

• Case studies — real development programs and evaluations

• Reflection prompts — for practitioners to connect to their work

• Further reading — curated from DevDiscourses

Example: MEL for Development

Module 1:  What is MEL?
Module 2:  Theories of Change
Module 3:  Indicators & Frameworks
Module 4:  Data Collection Methods
...
Module 13: MEL for Learning & Adaptation
Lexicon:   65 terms with definitions

Interactive Labs

Labs are HTML/JS workbenches that let practitioners apply concepts. Each lab:

• Has a guided workflow (step-by-step)

• Produces an output (framework, plan, analysis)

• Can export results (PDF/PNG in premium versions)

• Requires no server — runs entirely in the browser

Learning Games

Games are economics simulations built as single HTML pages:

• Self-contained — each game is one HTML file

• Data-driven — real economic parameters where possible

• Debriefable — designed for classroom or workshop use

• Mobile-friendly — responsive layouts

Adding New Content

Adding a new foundational course

1. Create a new HTML file following the existing course pattern

2. Add the course to the catalog in catalog.html

3. Add it to the main site's course listing in index.html

4. Update the README content inventory

Adding a new game

1. Create a single HTML file with the game logic

2. Host it in the appropriate directory or as a separate Netlify site

3. Add it to the games section in index.html and catalog.html

Adding handouts

Handouts are loaded dynamically from the repo. Add HTML files to the handouts collection and they will appear automatically.

Multilingual Content

Content is available in 6 languages:

• English (primary)

• Hindi

• Tamil

• Bengali

• Telugu

• Marathi

Translation contributions are welcome. See Contributing for guidelines.

Style Guide

• Tone: Accessible but rigorous. Write for a practitioner with 2–3 years of experience.

• Examples: Prefer South Asian context (India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka).

• Jargon: Define terms on first use. Add to ImpactLex if they're sector-standard.

• Attribution: Cite sources. Link to DevDiscourses where possible.

• Accessibility: Use semantic HTML, alt text for images, sufficient color contrast.
