Abstract
This study will be focusing on the component of preschool curriculum developed by the Ministry of Education. The component of preschool curriculum will be constructed digitally using transmedia approach. Through this study it is our hope that a fun learning environment can be actualized by exposing the students with such approach. The utilization of different media also hopes to encourage constructive learning and collaborative classroom discussion which in turn can hopefully make learning more playful but at the same time structured. This paper will also discuss the many problems in transferring a certain curriculum module using animation approach.
