Grasple

What Grasple is

Grasple is a web platform for educators to find, adapt, create and share exercises and lessons, with a particular focus on mathematics and statistics. Students work through interactive practice and short lessons and receive immediate feedback. Its free, open-license exercises are created by Grasple and educators. Teachers can revise existing resources or build their own; when they edit someone else’s work, the changes are saved as a separate version. A Computer Algebra System can recognize equivalent algebraic answers, such as 2x and x+x. Learning Analytics dashboards help teachers identify concepts students are finding difficult. Grasple supports LTI connections with major learning management systems and other systems that support LTI. Dutch universities can use SURFConext single sign-on. Its security policy describes encryption for data at rest and in transit and daily application-data backups; an external auditor assessed it against the NOREA Privacy Control Framework. Grasple, founded in 2014 and based in Amsterdam, serves teachers, schools, universities and students. The Open Teacher Account is free for up to 100 unique students. The Full Teacher Account is priced at €750 per year per teacher seat and €16 per year per student seat, with up to six courses.
