Business Innovations in International Development course introduction

Hello everyone!

As Professor Bugg-Levine said below, I will be the TA of this course. That means I will be in charge of making sure the blog is ready to receive your posts and comments, as well as the answers to the questionnaires. For any technical question, please refer to me. But before that, let me go quickly over some basics.

First, whenever you feel the unstoppable urge to share something with the class, you should go ahead and email any text, links and pictures to the following address: marademonte.innovations@blogger.com (sorry, blogger wouldn’t let me choose a less personal one). Your email will be published immediately for everyone’s benefit.

Second, I will send everyone an email update after a post has been published. That way you’ll be able to go to the blog and provide your comments or answer the questionnaires.

Finally, I have added a blogroll with three blogs that are focused on international development. If anyone knows of a really good one that I may have missed, please let me know (email or comment!) so we can add it.

Thanks for your patience. I would kindly encourage you to provide any feedback you may have about this blog. We’ve been thinking hard about how to make the course interactive outside of the classroom and would love to know how to improve the results.

Cheers!
Mara
