Comparison view

     This view allows a user to choose any item that is tagged with comparison data. You can compare different planets or moons to each other and select a topic which will show the similarities and differences between them.

Test your knowledge

     This section allows the user to self test themselves on any questions the kit contains. Alternately a different question set can be swapped in or your own questions can be created and put in.

     Potential uses include actual testing of knowledge or just a way for students to check on how they are absorbing the information.

Journal

     Alternately students can write out their own answers using a handy Journal tool. This tool will remember the comments made depending on what's being compared.

Create your own comparisons

     A user or teacher can ultimately decide to create their own kit using the built in editor. So instead of planets, one could create a kit based on different aircraft, different scientific fields, different writing styles and so on.

Future add ons

     Those who wish to publish their own material are free to do so. As What's the Difference matures, so will the library of topics it will have at it's disposal.

What's The Difference is developed at NASA Ames Research Center by Geoffrey Bruce and project manager Christina O'Guinn.
