July 2026
Delivered by UPI within 24 hours. Find them on the Products page or the “Course Notes” button on any course.
Free, self-paced interactive decks: GenAI for Practitioners, Data Protection & the DPDP Act, Safeguarding & PSEA, and Disability Inclusion — the timely essentials for development practitioners in 2026. The foundational library grows to 51 courses.
July 2026
Each is a native-HTML slide deck with light/dark theme and keyboard navigation — free forever, no login.
Finish a course or a track and earn a W3C Open Badges 3.0 credential you can verify and share on LinkedIn — 9 course badges and 5 track credentials, auto-issued on completion.
New
Each badge carries its own evidence and criteria, so anyone can check it independently — no central registry needed. Find yours on your Account page.
Build custom learning pathways for your team — combining courses, labs, templates, games and case challenges — or start from a pre-built path for MEL Officers, Programme Managers, Field Staff or Governance teams, with facilitator guides and rubrics.
New
Includes cohort management and assessment rubrics. Built for organisations and teams.
All 16 flagship courses now end with a six-question auto-graded self-check — 90 questions in total, each grounded in that course’s own material, with instant feedback and a short explanation.
July 2026
Pick an answer, check it, and see why it’s right or wrong — no sign-in, nothing stored. Look for “Assess Yourself” in the course sidebar.
Two new programmes: four-week AI build cohorts where demoing wins your ₹1,000 deposit back, and a self-paced assessed track (₹2,499) with a verifiable credential.
July 2026
Build Circles: no lectures, a real problem, weekly rhythm, Demo Day. Certificate Track: guided flagship path + game + practice pack + the AI Agents for Evaluators module, capstone-assessed.
The lab collection jumped from 15 to 28 — survey design, systems thinking, budget & fiscal analysis, DPI, conflict-sensitive programming and more — plus a 7-module course that runs real R and Python in your browser, no install.
July 2026
The R & Python course uses WebR + Pyodide so every example is executable in the page. All labs free, browser-based, dark/light theme.
Game #18: eight impact claims from Indian programmes, each hiding a classic causal-inference trap — regression to the mean, self-selection, survivorship, spillovers. Pick the design that finds what would have happened anyway.
July 2026
Ten minutes, no statistics background needed — plain-language feedback explains every design, and a trap recap shows what you dodged.
Six new realistic case packets mean every flagship course now has a matching challenge: stress-test an impact claim, spec a Power BI dashboard, design a graduation pathway, diagnose a failing procurement system, manage a donor exit, draft a policy memo.
July 2026
Each challenge ships authentic case documents and a marking rubric — portfolio-grade work products, not quizzes.
Eighteen landmark moments, 1931–today — from the Karachi Resolution through SEWA, Vishaka, MGNREGA and the POSH Act to the falling-FLFPR puzzle, platform work, and the care-economy turn.
July 2026
Every node carries the original argument, why it mattered, and the critique that followed — with links deeper into ImpactMojo. The timelines library now spans 6 histories, 113 nodes, 44 eras.
Pose a development-sector dilemma and a panel of AI advisors — a development economist, a field practitioner, a behavioural scientist, and a critic — debate it from every angle before the moderator synthesises.
New
A Professional-tier tool. Each seat is voiced by a distinct model, so the advisors sound genuinely different. Add your own discussion points to steer the debate and export the full transcript — or read a free worked-example preview.
Ten new curated, fully web-cited reading lists: cash transfers, India's female labour-force puzzle, the politics of targeting, the RCT debate, climate adaptation finance, measuring empowerment, informality, the learning crisis, health systems & UHC, and decolonising development knowledge.
New
Each is an annotated syllabus with real, verified sources and links into related courses and labs.
~22 methods and evidence posts upgraded with verified inline citations — and we corrected a few popular myths (like the debunked “learning pyramid” retention percentages).
Improved
Every claim now links to an authoritative, checked source.
The Dataverse added 14 verified open-data sources (now 296), and all six interactive timelines were extended to the present (COP29's $300bn finance goal, the 2023 Women's Reservation Act, and more).
Rigorous development education: Gandhi, DevEcon, DataViz, DevAI, MEL, Politics of Aspiration, Media for Development, Constitution & Law, and Social-Emotional Learning.
Expanded
Each flagship includes:
12-13 modules with South Asian case studies
Interactive lexicon (55-70 terms per course)
NotebookLM AI study companion and downloadable Excel resources
Features and tools we're building to push development education forward
Already shipped? Those now live in What's New above. Below is what we're building next.
Vernacular Courses PLANNED
Full flagship courses in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, and Marathi — not just interface translation, but native, citizen-facing course content for frontline and community educators.
AI Study Companion PLANNED
Ask-anything Q&A inside every course, grounded in that course's own deck and readings — so answers cite the material, not the open web. Builds on our existing AI study notebooks.
Offline Course Packs PLANNED
Download a whole flagship course to your phone and study it offline — for field staff and low-connectivity settings. Extends the site's existing offline (PWA) foundation.
Facilitated Cohorts EXPLORING
Time-boxed, mentor-led runs of a flagship course with a peer group and shared deadlines — a facilitated layer on top of the self-paced courses, growing out of Build Circles.
MEL Data Sandbox EXPLORING
In-browser R and Python notebooks with sample survey datasets, so you can practise the analysis a course teaches — cleaning, indicators, regression — without installing anything.
Grant & Proposal Lab EXPLORING
An interactive theory-of-change and logframe builder that turns your programme logic into a funder-ready proposal draft, with indicator suggestions drawn from our repositories.
