Licensing, Games, and OER: Board Game Jam

Design your own game as an Open Educational Resource (OER)!

Take part in this hands-on workshop and we’ll guide you through all the steps so that you can create your own game. We’ll explore prototyping and playtesting and show you how to add variety and fun by employing different game mechanics.

OERs are digitised teaching and learning resources that reside in the public domain or have been released by the copyright owner under an intellectual property licence (e.g. Creative Commons) that permits their use or re-purposing (re-use, revision, remixing, redistribution) by others.

In this session you will learn:

• the differences between copyright and licensing,
• how to identify licensed material that is free for re-use,
• how to licence your own work.

We’ll provide everything you need to get you up and running, including inspiring images from our Library Special Collections. All we need from you are your enthusiasm and your ideas!

No technical or design expertise required.

This event is open to All Staff and All Students.
