Come and join the DOTS (www.dots.team), a secret agency that catches and fixes transmedia dreams (think Roald Dahl’s ‘The BFG’ for the digital age!). In this session we present a new game-framework for supporting children’s transmedia storytelling and gameplay across the curriculum. This emerged from a two-year research project, funded by the British Academy exploring the educational potential of co-design with teachers.

Her current research focuses on the educational potential of transmedia storytelling in school settings.
