All materials that you can use, you can find under the 'repositories' button in Grasple.
On the repositories overview page, you may find repositories in three sections:
Your repositories: visible and manageable only for people you provide with specific access
Organisation repositories: viewable for all teachers in the organisation and managed by your admin
Community repositories: viewable for all teachers on the Grasple platform and managed by the Grasple Content Team
Note: if your organisation does not have organisation repos available, you will not see that heading at this moment.
Search for subjects, tests and exercises
You can search through all the repositories on the repository page by using the search bar on the top of the page. Searching is possible on:
ID for subjects, tests and exercises
name and internal name for subjects
If you are looking for a specific item in your repositories, but you don't know in which repository it is located you can fill in the ID in the search field and press enter.
See an example below where the user searched for the test with ID 426.
Searching subjects on name
If you are looking for subjects, you can also search on name. Searching on name will return all subjects for which the name contains the search term.
β
See an example below where the user searched for subjects with "derivatives" in the name.
β
NOTE: searching a subject name is done for the language selected in your interface. For example: using the English interface, searches in the English names of the subject. Click the flag icon in the top right to switch language.
Searching subjects on internal name
Subjects can also be searched by their internal name. This property is only visible to teachers with access to the repository, which makes sorting and searching large repositories more convenient.
NOTE: Internal names are not language specific, which means that the current interface language does not influence the search results.
β
The internal name field can be found in the top bar when editing a subject.
Organisation repositories
Do you want to make a repository available for all teachers in your organisation? That is a great idea to share materials among your teachers instead of letting teachers create the same content individually.
You can read more about how organisation repositories can be used and how to create one.
How to use an organisation Repository?
We advice to make sure the content in the organisation repository is reviewed by at least one other teacher to make sure the content is reusable for others teachers.
Also we advice to give it a clear name and use a description to explain to new teachers where the content can be used for and how it can be used within their course. This helps other teachers to understand how they can use that content in an effective manner. See an example description below for an example organisation repository.
