PLAY THE LICENSING GAME!

The goal of the game is to determine whether or not different types of Creative Commons licensed content can be combined and remixed in order to create a new, legal, and open resource.
The four types of content are:

1. Text
2. Image
3. Music
4. Video

Each group will get one OER Remix sheet and three sets of content cards. Each set contains four cards. Don’t open the card sets until the game begins.

INSTRUCTIONS

Empty the first Ziploc bag that contains the first set of cards. Arrange the content cards on your Remix sheet so all four types of content are represented (place the Text card on the Text space, Image card on Image, etc). Each content card already has a Creative Commons (CC) License (or other legal restriction) on it.
Given what you already know and/or learned about CC licensing, your goal with your group is to determine whether or not the set of content cards you have been given is a legal remix of licensed content.

HINTS

PD = the public domain
CC-BY-SA cards can be remixed with PD, CC-BY and other CC-BY-SA
CC-BY-NC-SA cards can be remixed with PD, CC-BY, and other CC-BY-NC-SA
