2. What is Transmedia?
The different media and languages participate and
contribute to the construction of the transmedia
narrative world.
Defined as the art of conveying messages, themes, or
storylines to mass audiences through the artful and
well-planned use of multiple media platforms.
3. Henry Jenkins’s thoughts
Transmedia stories are stories told across multiple
media, at the present time, the most significant
stories tend to flow across multiple platforms.
A transmedia text does not simply disperse
information: it provides a set of roles and goals
which readers can assume as they enact aspects
of the story through their everyday life.

recommended text in the Australian curriculum

texts with appropriateness, accuracy, confidence,
fluency and efficacy for learning in and out of school.

Editor's Notes
we have seen students across the world remix, mashup and create their own next episodes of Alice in the widest transliterate sense. Different languages and ways of expressing things are used in different episodes.Students learn to adapt language to meet the demands of more general or more specialised purposes, audiences and contexts. They learn about the different ways in which knowledge and opinion are represented and developed in texts, and about how more or less abstraction and complexity can be shown through language and through multimodal representations.”Students drew that scene from a first person point of view, decided on the music and the sounds that would be playing during the scene, and then described what this scene tells us about themselves as a character in their story.
According to:It is a recommended text to be introduced to the classroom to develop students’ digital literacy skills. Students want to share, participate in, create, shape and personalize their learning experience.We don't just Read it....neither do we just View it,We EXPERIENCE it.
