Hi Jenny, Deirdre, 

In my view the Emergent Learning Artefact  (I did mention this Artefact somewhere else in this forum) is a proof or evidence of this emergent learning of this student. You (Jenny) are right I think, the Emergent Learning Artefact does fit into the bonus area of the rubric of Deirdre Bonneycastle.
Great idea of Deirdre to make a special room for the unexpected. If we do not expect that some unexpected thing could be happening, we will not notice it.

what happens when the "emergent learning artefact" is a behaviour, or an attitude, or something so ingrained that the artefact is the learner?

to me the idea of evidence in relation to emergent learning is problematic

it feels like a parent saying to an adolescent "so you fell in love, prove it"
