Living and Learning in the Digital Age: Exploring the Tensions and Possibilities of Transmedia Activity
Sun, April 19, 2:15 to 4:15pm, Virtual RoomSession Type: Roundtable Session
Abstract
This session explores the tensions and possibilities that emerge for educational research positioned at the intersection of digital and analogue spaces. We argue for more robust analyses of how tools, practices, discourses, and social capital travel in and between these sites to develop a deeper understanding of how to design learning ecologies in the digital age. Drawing on previous conceptualizations of transmedia storytelling and transmedia mobilization (Jenkins, 2006; Constanza-Chock, 2014), we propose the term transmedia activity as a heuristic for understanding how teachers, youth, and transnational migrants in our studies hybridized virtual and physical artifacts to mediate their sociomaterial relations (Fenwick & Landri, 2012). Our studies have implications for teacher pedagogy, youth agency, and the design of learning ecologies.
