How do I create a comparison between two resources?
Item Comparisons allow you to take two resources and compare them side-by-side. These allow users to highlight interesting resources that feature similar content, e.g. a video vs slides on the same topic, or a more updated resource compared to an older one. Comments can be added, with bookmarks, so you can point other users to specific pages or timestamps of interest. You can view Item Comparisons created by other users in the "Other" menu.
You can also create your own if you have some interesting comparisons. This will allow others to view your comparison, leave comments, etc.
When creating your own (accessible by the navigation bar), you will be asked to select the resource documents, provide a name and select relevant interests and subjects.
Once you are happy with the comparison, you can then "submit" it. This will allow anyone to view your item comparison and add comments.
