Transliteracy is an umbrella term encompassingdifferent literacies and multiple communicationchannels that require active participationwith and across a range of platforms, andembracing both linear and non-linear messagesDr. Susie AndrettaLondon Metropolitan University Source: http://nlabnetworks.typepad.com/transliteracy/Andretta_Transliteracy.pdf

Transliteracy is a “a convergence of literacies”(Lippincott, 2007: 17) as the boundariesbetween medial literacy, digital literacy,technology literacy and information literacybecome blurred when individuals evolve fromconsumers of information to producers ofcontent.Dr. Susie AndrettaLondon Metropolitan University Source: http://nlabnetworks.typepad.com/transliteracy/Andretta_Transliteracy.pdf and http://net.educause.edu/ir/library/pdf/ERM07610.pdf

Transliteracy is concerned with mappingmeaning across different media and not withdeveloping particular literacies about variousmedia. It is not about learning text literacy andvisual literacy and digital literacy in isolationfrom one another but about the interactionamong all these literacies.Tom IpriLiaison Librarian to the College of Media Arts and Design at W.

“…participatory teaching methods simply will not work if they do not begin with a deep bond between teacher and student. Importantly, this bond must be built through mutual respect, care, and anongoing effort to know and understand one another.” Dr. Michael Wesch Associate Professor of Cultural Anthropology Coffman Chair for Distinguished Teaching Scholars Kansas State University Quote: http://chronicle.com/article/A-Tech-Happy-Professor-Reboots/130741/#disqus_thread CC image via http://www.flickr.com/photos/nattu/4085398562/sizes/l/in/photostream/

“Looking at this across thedisciplines you start to seehow important theknowledge-creationactivity plays into thesense of identity. Theoverriding theme is thatone does not become a“scholar” until they havecreated something new.
