Abstract
Summative assessments, and in particular, online digital summative assessments are dominated by items that present a limited number of possible responses for selection (with multiple choice being the most prevalent example). Less constrained constructed responses to a task might be submitted via digital technology , but in many cases require human evaluation. To avoid this, we present a prototype for enhancing digital assessment by using dynamic computer algebra systems linked with dynamic geometry environments. The technology enhanced items created by this system allow students to create mathematical objects required to have stated properties, and the satisfaction of those properties can be evaluated for mathematical correctness automatically by the system.
