A third type of interaction space requires test takers to highlight content to produce a response (see figure 5.2c). For example, the test taker may be asked to highlight words that are misspelled in a given sentence, select sentences in a passage that support a given argument, or highlight elements in an image of a painting that demonstrate the use of a specific technique or imagery.

By requiring students to interact with content, rather than simply to select a correct response, technology-enhanced items require an increased level of engagement by the student. In turn, it is believed that this increased engagement improves the accuracy of information provided by students about their knowledge and understanding.

While many observers believe that development of technology-enhanced items requires more time and a higher level of technical skill than is required to author multiple-choice question, this in fact is not the case. Tools such as TAO (see previous section) and eMetric provide templates that allow technology-enhanced items to be written as efficiently as multiple-choice items.

These platforms are also able to score student responses to these items automatically. In this way, the time and technical expertise required to develop technology-enhanced items are essentially the same as that required for developing more traditional items.
