In ETEC 540, we had a Rip, Mix and Burn assignment which gave us opportunities to experiment with remixing. I used Mozilla Thimble, part of Mozilla's excellent suite of Webmaker tools designed to teach young people web creation by remixing.
Reflecting on the remixing experience, I agree with
Stephen Downes' comment:
"I have nothing against Disney's practice here. "Rip, mix, burn." That's how Disney built his empire. And that same freedom should be allowed the creative artists of today, instead of the lockdown society in which they must toil" (Downes, S., 2011, p. 35). We are all prosumers - producers and consumers - of digital media. I feel that excessive copyright restrictions stifle creativity. As such, I typically assigned the CC BY-NC-SA license to the artifacts that my MET group project teams and I created.
