Transmedia Storytelling in Virtual Worlds

It is common practice for citizens of the 21st century to use different online media for their entertainment, communication or different forms of daily self expression.

Taking this habit into account, the use of Transmedia Storytelling has become an indispensable part of our lives.​

So, what is Transmedia Storytelling and how can it be encompassed in language teaching in multi-user Virtual Worlds?
​
Here is a detailed article documenting my experience with my students on ELT Treasure Island, Kitely, so far. My presentation and moderation at Immersive Storytelling, EVO 2021 focused on how to promote Transmedia Storytelling in our classes in Virtual Worlds.

On our Transmedia Storytelling Project on ELT Treasure Island, the learners have been very creative, producing comics, storybooks, podcasts, paintings, gallery exhibits, machinima, blog posts.

​Here is a learner introduction to ELT Treasure Island, in the form of a postcard and a playlist for my trainee teachers on EVO 2021, with machinima and instructions on how to use some of the affordances of a Virtual Island.
