Our MicroMasters portal is a vibrant, interactive, and collaborative learning and networking space that connects you with other learners from all over the globe, gives you the teaching support you need to succeed in our courses, and allows you to interact with some of the best development economists in the world.
Each individual DEDP Online Course has a discussion forum in which learners can post any question or comment they have; the board is monitored by TAs for each course. The course staff also sends out course emails on a weekly basis to update learners of the upcoming week’s lectures and assignments.
Additionally, all paid learners are able to access the MicroMasters Portal Community Open Discussion Forum during and after the program. This forum is hosted on open.mit.edu and includes both a DEDP Discussion Forum and an active Job Board. Current and former DEDP learners as well as DEDP and J-PAL staff post employment, research, and internship opportunities to this Job Board.
