central story idea with avariety of components that provide
additionalinformation.H. Pence (2012)At basic level,
transmediastories are told acrossmultiple media platforms. H.
Jenkins (2006)
- 6. Unique Elements of Transmedia1. Internet has both enabled
and expanded the possibility for audience participation2. Audience
expect to play a meaningful role3. Transmedia stories provide
opportunities for audience to contribute and participate4. Story
unfolds across multiple media platforms with each media making its
own contribution to the unfolding of the story
- 7. Why Transmedia Storytelling? Many are now actively involved
in a participatory culture wherethere are relatively low barriers
to artistic expression and civicengagement, strong support for
creating and sharing onescreations, and some type of informal
mentorship (H. Jenkins 2006) Audiences no longer passive consumers
(E.Spaulding 2012) Smart environments and participatoryaudiences
have blurred the relationshipbetween creators and audiences
(Jenkins 2006) Audiences now co-producers andinvolved interpreters
of the storyworld (Shirley 2011)

- 23. 21st Century Literature = Engagement Developing a narrative
over multiple platforms while interweaving learning outcomes
creates transformational learning experiences. Participants engage,
inform, inspire, connect and collaborate over content. It is this
interconnectedness that fosters a dialogue which connects learners
around the world. This global interconnectivity allows for the
collaborative sharing and proliferation of knowledge. Transmedia
storytelling exemplifies learning in the 21st century.Laura
