This is a straw dog demonstrating a mashup of David Wiley's online OER Remix Game -- reconfigured for the wiki environment. In the wiki course materials we will link to David's online version -- but we need an alternative for free software users who may not have access to non-free flash drivers (particularly relevant in the developing world) and the need to develop a print-based alternative.

We need help in developing a few more examples and I provide instructions below for a few wiki enthusiasts collaborating on the project.

Example

The dealer deals four cards. Each card represents a resource (text, audio, video or photo) according to the license illustrated on the card. Your task is to determine the legal license compatibility of aggregating the four resources and choosing a license for the derivative work. (This draft activity is being developed for the Creative Commons unplugged tutorial on WikiEducator.)

Try your luck with this hand Can these resources be aggregated and legally released as a derivative work? Yes Correct. Resources in the public domain and CC-BY licensed materials can be mixed with a BY-NC license. No Incorrect. These licenses are compatible. The public domain and CC-BY materials can be aggregated with the BY-NC materials. Which of the following licenses could be used for the derivative work: All rights reserved Copyright Incorrect. All rights reserved could potentially be used for generating profit and would contravene the NC restriction. CC-BY Incorrect. The NC restriction on the photo would not permit the derivative worked to be licensed as CC-BY. Released under a public domain declaration Incorrect. The attribution requirements of CC-BY and the NC restriction would not permit this. BY-NC Correct The derivative work can be released under the same restriction of the most restricted license in the pack. There are however other alternatives as well. BY-NC-ND Correct. It is possible to release this aggregation under a more restrictive license by adding the ND restriction. However, where possible we recommend that remixers try to respect the intentions of the original creators, especially where no new or original materials have been added. BY-NC-SA Correct. It is possible to release this aggregation under a more restrictive license by adding the SA restriction. However, where possible we recommend that remixers try to respect the intentions of the original creators, especially where no new or original materials have been added. BY-SA Incorrect. The NC restriction of the photo would necessitate the inclusion of the NC restriction. The SA license does permit commercial activity for value-added services on condition that the derivative work is also released under a share alike license.

Instructions

1. Copy the wiki syntax on this page: http://wikieducator.org/index.php?title=Open_Content_Licensing/Example:Remix_game_question&action=edit&section=1
2. Paste this over to one of the example pages (red links) on this tutorial page, i.e Example 2, Example 3 etc.
3. Be sure to link your example from the Remix and compatibility page.
4. Edit and replace the images as appropriate for your example, edit the questions and feedback etc.
   • We have source files of the playing cards in svg format -- download a copy of Inkscape (free software) to select the relevant card and export as an image (e.g png format for upload in WikiEducator -- suggest using a width of 300px for the png export of the playing card.) -- here are the svg source files for the playing cards:
