Compare Suite in teacher’s work
It does not matter in what filed of business you are working, but you need to use computer anyway. IT support is imperative for any job. Sure, some businesses cannot survive without computers as they emerged during the Internet and IT revolution. We can see computers in every office irrespectively of the firm’s business orientation.
When we say “computers” we mean software, as programs and utilities make our life easier. Perhaps, the most common use of computers is processing information, i.e. creating and editing documents. These days much information is stored electronically.
With increased volumes of information it became more difficult to process documents. That is why people use special programs that help them analyze and summarize information. Compare Suite from AKS-LABS is one of such programs. This is an effective and reliable file compare utility that contrasts files and folders, as well as synchronizes directories.
Compare Suite is used by a wide range of professionals, but this article will focus on how teachers and professors can make an effective use of Compare Suite.
Use Compare Suite to contrast documents
Document comparison is important for you
First of all, let’s say a couple of words about the program itself. Compare Suite is very easy to use for ordinary PC users, and this is, perhaps, one of its key advantages. The program contrasts files and folders for you to see differences between them. In file comparison mode you can choose one of the three comparison methods: char by char, word by word and comparison by keywords. If you expect that compared documents do not look pretty much alike, then use comparison by keyword method. If you are interested in every change between the docs, then char by char method is the best solution. Compare Suite can make reports based on comparison results. Such reports contain full stats on the files.
But let’s get back to application of Compare Suite in the field of education. Imagine you are a high school teacher who has just received completed tests from your students in the electronic form. You need to check the tests.
All you have to do is to open original test with answers in the left side of the program interface and then open all the completed tests one by one. If the docs are identical then this is an A. if there are some differences (in our case – mistakes) then you can count them and grade the work. This will save you much time.
In the same way you can compare lecture versions, timetables and what not.
