Facilitating English as Second Language Learning through a Transmedia Storyworld
Presented at Transmedia Literacy International Conference 2018 - #Transliteracy2018 - Language learning shouldn't be dissociated from the learners' social and cultural context. ESL educators need to address, in their instructional spaces, the hows, and whys of living and communicating in a technology- mediated ecosystem, in present times. Acting as media ecosystems, transmedia storyworlds can become a multimodal sandbox within which learners can gain a higher agency to produce language through digital formats. Part of an ongoing research project, we describe the design and implementation of a transmedia learning storyworld. Through the report and discussion of the first deployment of a prototype version and a transmedia learning experience based on the storyworld, we explore challenges inherent to the application of a transmedia storyworld in formal learning environments and indicate a set of issues that need to be addressed in the future.

Towards a Transmedia Learning Approach in ESL Context
Presentation #iLRN2017 Transmedia storyworlds allow students to express themselves and take part in a shared culture while developing learning paths. Whilst the use of transmedia storytelling in formal learning environments has been steadily gaining ground among educators, documented cases of its application are still sparse. Tap into a transmedia learning storyworld targeted to English as Second Language students. The potential and challenges of applying a transmedia approach in an educational setting are explored through the description of the implementation of a prototype version of a transmedia learning storyworld and discussion of issues emerging from the application process.
