Abstract

This poster outlines a research study utilizing transmedia and game elements to motivate higher education students towards higher levels of engagement and deeper learning within the theme of human rights education. This work-in-progress aims to engage students with stories of displacement via a number of different media, which will be facilitated by a technique known as ‘transmedia storytelling’. The poster will concentrate on the instructional design phase of the project, and will illustrate the stories, media and pedagogic processes being used in the creation of this highly immersive learning experience.
