On Grasple we have the repository named:

Practice Material for Fundamental Courses in Economics Grasple

The repository is designed as an open, collaborative collection of digital exercises and supplementary teaching materials for fundamental economics courses. It is structured into subjects that are often found in economics courses. These subjects allow teachers to identify and integrate those exercises they need, based on the topics they are interested in. All exercises are available in English and Dutch. Selected exercises can be implemented through the Grasple platform directly with a free teacher account.

This repository serves as a repository of exercises for educators, offering adaptable, high- quality practice materials. Teachers can use these resources to enhance student engagement, streamline exercise creation, and participate in a broader community dedicated to open educational practices. Furthermore, these exercises will not require a review of every new print, new book, or new course but can be taken from one setting to the next with minimal effort.

To start using the exercises in your course:

Create a Grasple course, search for the subjects that are relevant to your course, and add them to your Grasple course. Add/invite your students For teacher accounts: by either giving them the link to register for your course For organisations: use your LMS (LTI Integration) or SSO. To help students navigate the exercises, you can organize the subjects you selected in larger sets, for instance per week or lecture.
