You can use financial database like Bloomberg , DataStream to analyze the data and make the class interesting, apart from case studies and group presentations

You can use Prezi to make a different kind of presentation.

You might be interested in innovation pedagogy.

Hi Taral, to make it more real, I had the students pick a country out of a hat whose currency they followed for the semester and gave brief weekly updates on. I also gave them real samples of that currency which they had to bring to class but could keep in the end (best to pick currencies that aren't worth much!). The students seemed to enjoy this.

You could also arrange a video conference with officials from a foreign central bank. Most are happy to oblige if asked well in advance and aren't currently embroiled in some sort of turmoil. At the moment Iceland is a good candidate, South Africa less likely.

Good luck,

Also possibly consider a flipped classroom approach.
