“…The concept of transmedia has also entered the learning stage. In this context it is referred to as a blended and dynamic content method to facilitate learning (Teske & Horstman, 2012). However, the storytelling feature is usually still the essential characteristic, whether it is used as a teaching method or solely for entertainment purposes.…”

The study presented is part of a work-in-progress project of developing a mobile application for smartphones, Talking Tools (TT). The first context TT is developed for and tested in is sloyd education [Swedish: slöjd], a compulsory subject taught in Finnish schools. In sloyd learners design and manufacture unique artifacts in various materials (textiles, wood, metal, and electronics). The process-based work flow of sloyd lends itself well to this kind of educational tool, which aids multimodal documentation, communication, and instruction. The empirical study targets what student teachers (N=11) microblogged about and the character of the blog posts during a sloyd project. A sociocultural perspective of appropriating new tools for learning is used as a theoretical frame, as well as views on multimodality and transmedia. Their sloyd process is discussed in terms of transmedia storybuilding, as learners build their own story as a flow of content through their documentation and interactions.

Transmedia storytelling occurs when integral elements of a particular narrative are dispersed across multiple delivery channels using multiple media for the purpose of creating an integrated and coordinated storytelling experience. Educators have the opportunity to reconceptualize what literacy and learning could and should look like in and out of school. It provides opportunities for students to create their own stories that expand the lore and mythology of the overarching narrative and challenges them to resolve a variety of open, nonlinear problems. These narratives also contain sociocultural elements and therefore have the opportunity to connect to readers on different levels. In this column, the authors examine the affordances and possibilities of embedding transmedia narrative and elements of gaming into literacy instruction.
