Abstract

Word Grader is a document checker for use by instructors in Microsoft Word or Microsoft Office application courses. Word Grader uses Microsoft Word's Compare and Combine feature to merge a student document with the correct version of the assignment. Word Grader counts errors and embeds a grade report in the marked-up document. "PowerPoint Grader" is a companion product that grades Microsoft PowerPoint assignments. PowerPoint Grader extracts the text from a presentation and grades it. It also grades themes and slide layouts. Instructors have downloaded these graders hundreds of times and successfully integrated them into computer science curricula.
