Interactive and transmedia digital narratives and their application in learning: Storytelling found construit and together were looking for slide

Abstract

Nowadays, the term storytelling explodes in a myriad of meanings. For many, it reports to ancestral times; for others, maybe it is a new discovery in the field of marketing and advertising (MILLER, 2014). For others, yet, it implies the reflection under the concept of digital narratives (JENKINS, 2006). Here we consider storytelling as a learning tool. As we hope to demonstrate, ignoring the potential of digital narratives as a learning tool is, in the end, ignoring the potential of language as performative of identity. Being so, we have summoned the experience of Empirical Modeling (E.M.) developed at Warwick University, Conventry, namely, the outputs presented at the CONSTRUIT 2017 conference and we intend to demonstrate that interactive digital narrative transmigration can successfully be used by the Empirical Modeling (M.E.) in the learning and technological literacy of seniors. To this end, we have taken as a reference the European SLIDE project. Our premise is that the communicational act and the digital narratives are successful models of learning regardless of the age of the learner.
