What is Transmedia Storytelling? What is your experience with it? What building tools can promote it for Education in Virtual Worlds?

"Transmedia storytelling represents a process where integral elements of a fiction get dispersed systematically across multiple delivery channels for the purpose of creating a unified and coordinated entertainment experience.

Ideally, each medium makes its own unique contribution to the unfolding of the story." Henry Jenkins (2007) first introduced the term in 2003 in the MIT Technology Review magazine

Here is a document that can answer a lot of your questions on Transmedia Storytelling.
