Networked Technologies: Online Education
Transmedia Education

institutional authorities • Content is co-authored • Less tolerance for
hierarchies • New understanding of
time and space = fast

styles • Delivering material with
redundancy – Details, clarity; lack of
leverage from F2F

Virtual Communication • Nuances of netiquette
– Attribution errors
• The hidden meaning in process – Usability and tech support – Speed speaks volumes

• A picture is worth a thousand words • Creating mentors • Connecting over ideas • Team projects

Transmedia Strategies
2015 APA Annual Convention AUGUST 6-9, 2015 TORONTO, ONTARIO
Whole is less than sum of the parts. Media becomes redundant and less satisfying.
Whole is more than sum of the parts by creating a larger ‘storyworld,’ enhancing sense of immersion and motivating audience to seek out other parts.

• Prosocial message • Strong story based on Sabido Methodology
– Dramatic theory for characters and structure (Brewer) – Emotional and realistic content – Archetypal characters (Jung) – Social Learning Theory: Transitional characters model realistic
change (Bandura) – Frequency allows creation of parasocial relationships (intimacy
at a distance, Horton & Wohl)
• Narrative stays true across media – Enhances suspension of disbelief (Bruner)
