Abstract

This paper describes software developed by the author and students to meet specific teaching goals in large economics classes. ISEGS generates unique computer-graded assignments for each student from an assignment template. ISEGS supports five types of questions: (1) Multiple-choice, (2) Interactive Diagrams, (3) Numerical, (4) Equation, (5) Short-answer. The software uses open source software (PHP, MySQL) and will run on a web server with these services. This paper also describes the current limitations of the software and experience using this software with a large introductory economics class. The software is freely available to educators, under an open source license, to use, edit, and improve as they choose.
