Overview
Transmedia storytelling is a process in which elements of fiction (or non-fiction) are communicated across different types of media, matching the message to the appropriate medium. The Transmedia Storytelling Discovery provides students the opportunity to understand the unique properites of different media forms and asks students to apply that knowledge to making their own media in multiple formats. The ability to tell compelling stories across media is an increasingly valuable skill across all walks of life.
