I help teach a university course on creative media, partly based on the work of Henry Jenkins and his principles of transmedia. We encourage students to use social media sites in strange, unconventional ways to tell a transmedia story or build a compelling transmedia experience. I'll be directing our students to this article, as your ideas align perfectly with what we're asking them to do for the assignment associated with the module. Thanks!

I'm interested in that class you teach... Do I need to be a Penn student to take it? Do you offer an online version?

alas it's only a penn class at the moment. i've taught versions of it in the past virtually through index, and i'm now teaching a different (gift interfaces) class virtually at school for poetic computation. so entirely possible in the future there will be a virtual version once again!

Sounds good! I haven't taken any classes at the school for poetic computation or index but they both seem great. I'm currently eyeing Intro to Coding for Designers (https://www.index-space.org/products/intro-to-coding-for-designers-async)
