No Outcome
is a bi- weekly workshop run to students at Nottingham Trent University. It was
launched from a pedagogic concern that Assessment Kills Innovation and deadens
risk taking and playing in student’s work. No Outcome allows the students to
play outside of their assessed assignments. No Outcome is interested in how students
view assessment – does it help or hinder them to become great designers of the
future? No Outcome is interested in the impact of incidental learning through
playful practice that takes place in the workshops and questions how a student
of today, being treated and feeling evermore as an entitled consumer can take
risks and make playful work within the structure of higher education. This blog
looks at these topics across education today, not specifically at one
university. Posts written by Jenna Lee Alldread, Design Lecturer and Maker.
