Abstract
Teenpods is the name of a Transmedia-Educational-Project (TEP) performed by the Chair
Education and adolescence from University of Lleida. This project aims to promote the
Positive-Young-Development (PYD) approach on educational contexts. It has 12 pods about
different topics linked with adolescence. Each Teenpod is set to include several transmedia
objects addressed to education practitioners. The first step in each pod design was elaborating
an educational video about the selected topic. This communication aims to describe this
experience: the elaboration process of Teenpods and the reflection on the followed principles
for the design of educational videos as a part of a TEP. Methodologically, transmedia objects
have been produced following a Design-Based-Research (DBR), characterized by iterative
cycles of analysis, design, development and refinement via tight collaboration among
researchers, practitioners and audio-visual producers. Results show that video resources as part
of transmedia objects design process is linked with principles of TEP production: choosing
scientific content about educational topics, adapting content to a synthesized and dynamic
discourse, taking care of the graphic design and multimedia content, and planning the
launching of the final product on the internet. This study contributes to fill the gap in the
literature about TEP to train professionals. It offers guidelines to promote the self-learning
processes through transmedia open resources for educational practitioners on the field of
Educational Technology. Additionally, it presents an example to promote PYD through video
educational objects. Finally, future research is needed to deeply analyse the impact of these
resources on the Internet.
