which they used a tool.
I actually hope that people develop more tests that involve the use of
open-ended tools like the Heath applet, for open-ended problems and
performance-based evaluations, in addition to the standard "solve" and
"define" test items.
It would help if the tools recorded what one did with the tool, not just the end
state.
