About
ImpactMojo addresses a critical gap in development education. Development work in India and South Asia often lacks standardized, evidence-based knowledge foundations: resulting in interventions that lack rigor and measurable impact.
We provide accessible, high-quality educational materials grounded in South Asian context, designed for educators, practitioners, researchers, students, and policymakers.

For Instructors
Everything below is free, runs in the browser, and needs no account.
- Teach with ImpactMojo (
teach.html): syllabus mappings, ready-made course kits, and how to run the material in a classroom or a workshop.
- LMS export (
lms-export.html), package any of the 22 flagship and 84 foundational courses, plus the 47 practice workbooks, as SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, IMS Common Cartridge 1.3, or a single self-contained HTML file. The package is built in your browser from the live page, so it is never stale. Our analytics, sign-in, Supabase and translation code are stripped before packaging and the rest inlined, so an imported course runs with no network and phones nothing home. SCORM reports completion when the learner reaches the final slide.
- Studio submissions (
js/studio-submit.js): wraps a Studio's own export in an envelope carrying the student's name, the Studio, a timestamp and a content digest. Studio exports previously carried no identity at all, so thirty files from a class were thirty anonymous JSON blobs. Wired into the LogFrame Builder as the reference implementation; the other Studios take the same two lines.
- Gradebook (
gradebook.html): drop a folder of those submissions in and get one CSV, with tampered files flagged by digest mismatch. Entirely client-side: student work is never uploaded anywhere.
