What is Copyright Dough?

4. • Copyright affects all stages of an
academic career
• But copyright is not a big seller!
• Wanted to create a welcoming
environment
Why did we design it?

5. • New online version using Zoom
interactive whiteboard
• Player packs sent in private chat
Moving online

6. • An adapted version for today
- Drawing on paper instead of whiteboard
- Cards distributed at random in chat
- Not everyone will complete task 2
- Voting will be via the chat
How will we play it?

7. 1. Choose a ‘player pack’ from the chat
2. Complete your 1st task individually
3. We’ll ask some people to complete
their 2nd task out loud
4. After each person’s turn, vote
whether the outcome is “ok” or “not
ok”
How will we play it?

8. Blue Creators’ Illustrations*
*Where you see a “blue creator’s model” on your cards, use one of these!

10. Illustrations*(all created by us!)
*In the classic version of the game, we have ‘creators’ playing the game

12. • Interactive workshop activity
- Serious play
- Immerses players
• Engagement tool
• Prompts discussion
Why we think it works

13. • Shows copyright as an enabler of
creativity
• Allows a better understanding of
how copyright affects different
people in different ways
Why we think it works
