To begin with we will recognise that there is not an agreed answer to this question. Rather, working with academic and practitioner partners we will begin to develop new approaches to assessing learning which take account of the factors that we have addressed above, namely, to recognise learning as a process of acting with tools in context. Importantly, however, we need to be able to identify whether a given prototype may be successful in supporting learning, whether one design decision can facilitate learners' understanding compared with another, whether a particular way of using a prototype massively improves or impedes its potential to support learning.
