Transmediated Learning

Just because you have curriculum

goals across a property doesn’t mean that you should be teaching the same thing on all platforms.

Ideally transmedia “pushes” kids to

the right content on the right platform, and kids can also “pull” the content they want on the platform they want.

Case Study in Transmedia Learning

SLIDE 5

Lesson 2:  The medium does not define the (learning) message

SLIDE 6

There are digital ways to   Learn, Practice, and Play Videos ¡ Music ¡ Interac0ve ¡ Games ¡ Print ¡ Ac0vi0es ¡

SLIDE 7

1-5 scale, 5= Strongly Agree

An ebook can be more than a book…

SLIDE 8

…but it still has to have the core literacy learning features

SLIDE 9

Offline is a medium too

SLIDE 10

Kids as makers

Lesson 3:  We don’t need no stinkin’ badges

SLIDE 12

Gamification is not a panacea

Gamification can help with short-term engagement, but is not a long-term solution

But game elements do have their place

Games are a great way to informally assess without “testing”
This is a generation who has grown up with “leveling up,” and

the notion of meeting new challenges as you go along

– But this also means that it is a generation that assumes personalization

Games are great at visually showing progress, and giving instant

feedback

– Giving kids a “learning positioning system” (LPS) as they play helps them orient

SLIDE 14

And there is an expectation of gaming on certain platforms

% of kids who play games on these mobile devices, if the household owns

The iPad has the highest gaming “conversion” rates, with learning tablets a close 2nd.

72% 68% 60% 55% 54%

Lesson 4:  Kids do love to learn, but it needs to be byte-sized

SLIDE 16

Kids are natural learners and explorers

SLIDE 17

We have to keep time spent playing in mind as we develop

About 1/2 of preschoolers spend 11-20 minutes playing per session; 2/5 only spend 5-10 minutes

Kids make their own play   (no matter what you do)

So empower them to PLAY

“Make it theirs, not yours”

SLIDE 20

The Closed-Creativity Continuum

Closed Creative

We don’t just want interactive flash cards…. …but how do we assess fully open creative?

SLIDE 21

Lesson 6:  We’ve still got a long way to go with social- emotional learning

SLIDE 22

Communication is a key skill

Being able to chat doesn’t mean that kids are learning communication And as we move to virtual learning, we need to spend time teaching virtual social skills We still tend to develop intra-culturally, not with the global world kids live in digitally in mind

SLIDE 23

Lesson 7:   Parents and kids are different tech generations (and relate to digital learning differently)

SLIDE 24

Parents still place value on non-digital

Parents will pay 33% less for an ebook than a print book, but that is 40% more than what they are willing to pay for apps!

SLIDE 25

Parents want data  …but not too much data!

..but when they get too much data they get

verwhelmed and “turn
ff” (or feel guilty).

When parents have data, they become more engaged in the learning process…

SLIDE 26

Lesson 8:  We have to focus

n the ecosystem
f learning

SLIDE 27

We know that co-play enhances and reinforces learning

Siblings & Cousins Parents & Kids Grandparents & Kids

SLIDE 28

Provide simple-to-use, multidimensional resources

We have to keep teachers in the loop

SLIDE 29

Lesson 9:  Contextualized learning builds engagement

SLIDE 30

Case Study on Context:

SLIDE 31

Lesson 10:  We have a long way to go in understanding how to teach across platforms

SLIDE 32

We’ve got smaller tech “generations”
