The present study is part of a larger one examining the design principles of e-assessment of understanding of geometric proofs. The interactive assessment tasks are checked automatically and feedback is generated. We reviewed various proving task design studies, looking for a template that incorporates interactive sketching and that can be checked automatically. Our findings suggest that examples sketched in a dynamic geometry environment in order to complete the assessment task are a challenging target for e-assessment and are relevant for eliciting the students’ understanding of geometric terms, geometric statements, and their validity.
