  • create a Creative Commons license for a remix

Key Vocabulary

Mashup: To combine various forms of data and media together to create a new artifact. 

Remix: A digital artifact that has been altered from the original by adding, changing, or removing some of it. (e.g.; using a photo-editing application to crop a photo, changing it using the paint tools, or adding text to it)

Responsible remixing: The "Fair Use" copyright statute for students and educators allows editing and use of copyright digital materials based on four factors: Watch this video from Commonsense.org on Copyright and Fair Use Animation  and also refer to 7 Q1 Copyright Laws  for more information.

Steps

1. Continue to work with your group of classmates to review the digital artifacts created in Quest three. Refer to this 17.Q4 rubric as you work on this assignment.

2. Review the Advantages and Disadvantages of Different Media Table and select an application that will let you:

  • combine some part of each of your artifacts
  • add a Creative Commons license
  • add a new digital artifact or information from one or more of your original research resources

3. Identify a new audience and tailor your message to effectively communicate it. Use this 17.Q4 Remix Information and Reflection document as you complete the Quest steps.

4. Select and add at least one new digital artifact/object (video, audio, image, etc.) from one of the sources used in your research about your topic that supports your main idea.

5. Review the fair use copyright guidelines below to ensure you are not breaking copyright and will cite any sources required.

Fair Use is determined by the courts on the following four factors:

1. the purpose and character of your use

  • the remix needs to be transformed from the original work and used in a different and new way
  • must not be used for commercial gain

2. the nature of the copyrighted work

  • if used for a factual purpose such as for a factual rather than creative reuse (critique, commentary, news report, art assignment,  research, analysis or comparison activity) rather than creative

3. the amount and substantiality of the portion used

  • avoid using the entire work
  • use no more than necessary to accomplish the transformation

4. the effect of the use on the market for the remix 

  • must not substitute for the original
