3.6: Remix Game
In this subunit, we participate in a game to test your knowledge of the remix compatibility of different license types. We will use interactive questions with detailed feedback for correct and incorrect answers.
Upon successful completion of this subunit, you will be able to:
- determine types of copyright licenses, including the public domain, that can legally be remixed together; and
- determine permissible licenses for derivative works based on the source materials used for the remix.
In this short exercise, you will consider a number of remix scenarios to explore license compatibility.
- Receive a grade
In this short exercise, you will consider a number of remix scenarios to explore license compatibility.
The dealer will deal four cards, each representing an open educational resource (OER) that you would like to aggregate for a derivative work. At its centre, each card has an icon representing its media type.
The four media types are: Text, Image, Audio, and Movie. Each card shows the license mark of the original resource. The work’s license may be CC BY, CC BY-SA, CC BY-NC-SA, CC BY-ND or GFDL, or considered public domain.
Your intention is to include supporting text and guidelines for learners with each resource. In addition, you plan to author a preface for the compilation, thus the resultant work will constitute a derivative work. You will be able to choose an appropriate license for the derivative work in each example. The release of your own copyright must be compatible with the licensing requirements of the OERs used. (For the purposes of this exercise you are not required to make value judgements about the license choice.)
This activity is a remix inspired by the online version of David Wiley’s OER remix game.
