Descripción: It has become increasingly evident over the last few years that a number of pressures have combined to reduce learners’ innovative performance at GCSE in design and technology. ‘Playing safe’ with tightly teachermanaged projects has been seen to be a formula for schools guaranteed A-C pass rates. The first research project described here outlines an approach developed in TERU at Goldsmiths College to shift the balance of assessment in favour of learners who can demonstrate innovative, risk-taking performance. At the successful conclusion of this first project, we were invited to explore the extent to which the approach we had developed could be made to work with digital tools and result in virtual portfolios. This second project ‘e-scape’ is now in a second phase of development and will result in school trials in June and July 2006. It has profound messages for the future not only of design and technology, but also of performance assessment more generally.
