Learn why evaluations matter and how they can be used to rigorously measure the social impact of development programs. This practical course will provide a thorough understanding of randomized evaluations, with pragmatic step-by-step training for conducting one’s own evaluation. Through a combination of lectures and case studies from real randomized evaluations, the course will focus on the benefits and methods of randomization, choosing an appropriate sample size, and common threats and pitfalls to the validity of an experiment. While the course is centered around the why, how, and when of randomized evaluations, it will also impart insights on the importance of a needs assessment, measuring outcomes effectively, quality control, and monitoring methods that are useful for all kinds of evaluations. 

This social impact course is designed for people from a variety of backgrounds: managers and researchers from international development organizations, foundations, governments, and non-governmental organizations from around the world, as well as trained economists looking to retool.

Comment définir et comprendre la notion d’espace? Comment l’urbanisation, la mobilité, Internet et la mondialisation ont-ils influencé notre perception du temps et de l’espace? Ce cours a pour objectif de définir la notion d’espace en apportant des clés de lecture pour comprendre les sociétés qui nous entourent.

À la fois théorique et pratique, ce cours privilégie les compétences sur les « contenus » factuels et valorise une approche par l’intelligence collective. Ce cours propose de saisir la notion d’espace à partir de vos expériences quotidiennes, de vos perceptions et de vos pratiques.

Dans EspaceX, nous explorons ensemble la ville, l’urbanisation, l’urbanité, et l’urbanisme, l’acteur individuel au sein d’un Monde mondialisé, les spatialités numériques, le couple espace-temps et la relation complexe entre les sociétés et les mondes bio-physiques. Une large part sera accordée à la cartographie. À l’issue de ce cours, vous serez capable non seulement de lire, mais aussi de dessiner vos propres cartes. Enfin, les problématiques de l’agir spatial et de la justice spatiale seront abordées. Un(e) specialiste reconnu(e) interviendra à chacune des 9 séances sous la forme d’un entretien filmé mettant en lumière la relation de ce chercheur à l’espace.

This course for learners of English looks at British culture and examines English in use to help you improve your language skills.

How do we understand the notion of space? How have urbanisation, mobility, digital spaces, and globalization changed the way we perceive it? This course aims to help you feel comfortable with the notion of space. The simplest way to understand it is to connect your daily life, your perceptions and your practices to the concepts of contact and remoteness. In SpaceX, we will explore together the city, urbanisation, urbanity, and urbanism, the individual actor in a globalising World, the emerging digital spatialities, the space-time couple, and the complex relation between societies and bio-physical worlds. Moreover, we will see that cartography is a powerful tool. By the end of the course, we will enable you to not only read but also draw your own maps. Finally, the issues of action on space through spatial agency and spatial justice will be addressed. In each of the nine sessions, a recognised specialist will be filmed in a particular place—a ‘thinking place’—throughout the World, to help us simultaneously inhabit and understand space.

Making decisions about managing natural resources can be difficult; this course explores why fairness needs to be part of policy.

How can you distinguish between credible information and “fake news?” Reliable information is at the heart of what makes an effective democracy, yet many people find it harder to differentiate trustworthy journalism from propaganda. Increasingly, inaccurate information is shared on social networks and amplified by a growing number of explicitly partisan news outlets. This Teach-Out will examine the processes that generate both accurate and inaccurate news stories and the factors that lead people to believe those stories. Participants will gain skills help them to distinguish fact from fiction.
