The paper describes an implementation of research done over several years, by me and in some cases others, at Stanford University and elsewhere. The implementation comprised the design, building, testing, and marketing of a digital educational technology platform to provide a supplementary tool for explorative mathematics learning and assessment.

The growth of computer-based testing over the last two decades has motivated the creation of innovative item formats. It is often argued that technology-enhanced items (TEIs) provide better measurement of test-takers' knowledge, skills, and abilities by increasing the authenticity of tasks presented to test-takers (Sireci & Zenisky, 2006).…
