Transmedia Literacy Exploiting transmedia skills and informal learning

Of European scope.

The TRANSLITERACY Project aims to contribute to a better understanding of how teens are consuming, producing, sharing, creating and learning in new digital environments. The project wants to grasp how the young boys and girls (12-18 years old) are learning media skills in their daily life and to explore their transmedia competencies in order to develop better educational strategies for integrating those skills and competences in schools. The TRANSLITERACY Project involves an interdisciplinary group of 25 researchers with acknowledged experience in fields such as: media literacy, transmedia storytelling, user-generated contents and participatory culture, digital ethnography, pedagogy and innovation in education. The research will focus on specific skills –i.e. transmedia content production and sharing, problem solving in videogames, etc.- and will be simultaneously developed in 9 countries in three continents: Australia, Colombia, Finland, Italy, Mexico, Portugal, Spain, United Kingdom, and Uruguay.
