9. THE LICENSING GAME
• Designed to help you understand how to use
Open Educational Resources (OERs) correctly
and legally.
• The goal of the game is to remix four different
kinds of content to create a new, legal, and open
resource.
The four types of content are:
1. Text
2. Audio
3. Video

VIDEO AUDIO

11. HOW TO PLAY THE LICENSING GAME
Each team gets a Remix Sheet - this is where you
will mix the resources we give you and create a
new, legal resource.
Each team also gets three sets of content cards to
place on their Remix Sheet.
Place one of each type of Content on the Remix
sheet. Determine whether or not the set of content
cards is a legal remix of licensed content. Correct
answers win a prize!
