University of the Arts London - The UK's leading arts university. Expanding Universe. De Montfort University - Leicester, UK | undergraduate, postgraduate and part-time education. Creative Writing and New Media Archive. Transliteracy Research Group. At 3Ts 2013: Transliteracy from Cradle to Career in Saratoga Springs this week I learned some new things about transliteracy. 1. In What I Want, When I Want to Watch It: Brief Thoughts on Television Literacy in the Streaming World with Hollie Miller & Michele Forte, Hollie aka @theotherinside showed us a feature on Hulu Plus which allows you to choose between adverts. That means that when the ads come on - as they invariably do - if you don't like the one they're showing, you can choose a different ad from several on offer.
Very interesting ad-based literacy - I've never been asked to consciously choose my own ads before, even though I know I'm already trading off that information on many of my social media platforms. And of course, in the process, Hulu learns lots about your preferences ;) 2. Many people, I'm sure, would find the image more memorable than the number. 3. So, three new personal takeways for me from this one day conference - very valuable and energising. Kate Pullinger - writer.
