Media at a Crossroads: Where Streaming, Games, Culture and Learning Meet

Abstract

This article investigates instances of knowledge transference and construction in game-centred interactions. It combines computer science and linguistic research techniques to analyse instances of learning in streamed interactions. It identifies instances of knowledge transference and construction in chat interactions, streamer-chat interactions, and streamer-player interactions. The argument is presented that with a combined linguistic and game-based learning analysis technique instances of learning can be holistically explored and identified.
