Abstract
Theory of Change for Development is a free online course developed at an
African institution to strengthen evaluation capacity in the region. Massive Open Online
Courses (MOOCs) provide a platform for building skills at scale in the region. Scholars of
evaluation have long pointed to a gap between supply and demand that frustrates both
evaluation practitioners and commissioners. This article explores the possibilities and
limitations of MOOCs to bridge this gap.
