Select Platforms to Enhance Personalizatsion and Transmedia Engagement to Support Effective Language Learning
Abstract
Transmedia is steadily gaining ground in education. A transmedia learning environment is immersive and engaging and presents the potential to meet the needs of 21st Century learners. This paper looks into the design stage of a transmedia learning project targeted to English as Second Language learners and explores aspects concerning the integration of learning goals and strategies within the structure of the project. In this manner, we hope to contribute to the development of transmedia learning environments
