Chris’s
Reusable
Card
Game
Chris Pegler
Instructions
This set of cards was developed as a resource to use at the Association of National
Teaching Fellows Symposium, 9-10 May 2011. Reuse of digital online resources is
the basis for Chris Pegler’s National Teaching Fellowship project. This resource, as
part of the ORIOLE project was funded through Chris’s NTFS award.
• The blue cards are on a general theme of MOTIVATION – what leads to reuse or
discourages it.
• The grey cards are on a theme of TECHNOLOGY – how this may affect reuse
• The pink cards are on a theme of QUALITY – how this affects use decisions
The ‘game’ can be played one-on-one or as a group sorting activity.
Lots of debate/discussion potential.
The images used in these cards are released under creative commons licenses.
Please preserve their attributions. You are free to adapt the images and the
cards. To do this use ‘Ungroup’ option so that you can change the text or
swop images. Let Chris know if anything comes from your particular reuse or
if you have comments on this particular resource. [email protected]
NOTE: These cards are formatted to print as Moo.com Business Cards.
Save as pictures and upload on Moo site.

humangenerated

1. EXCLUSIVITY
Is it popular or
exclusive? Are
‘top ten
downloads’
resources to
focus on or
avoid? Do we
need to know
where else it
is being used?
25. BRAND
Is it offered by
a trusted
provider, e.g.
MIT? From a
well-known
collection?
Is ‘brand’ a
sufficient
indication of
quality?
Purpose
Concerns
Quality
Technology
Resources
An automatic
habit for all
requiring no
special
thought. Is
this what we
need for reuse
to happen on
a large scale?

14. MOVING ONLINE
Use of existing
online
resources
helps to move
institutions
online rapidly.
But is that
really a
desirable
solution?

26. STYLE/TONE
Reuse offers a
diversity of
tone and style
to create
variety and
freshness. Or
does this just
confuse our
students?

15. DISCOVERABILITY
Searching for
a resource to
use needs to
be easy. But is
Google really
the place to
start? Do we
need to
develop our
search skills?

3. SHARING IS GOOD
The ethos of
education is
to share
learning. Can
open content
be a sound
investment as
well as the
right thing to
do?
27. APPEARANCE
Presentation
can be part of
the appeal.
The resource
looks better
than ones we
made.
Overall, how
important is
appearance?

16. GRANUALITY
Does size
matter? Is it
easier to
reuse small
bits of content
(assets), or is
it preferable
to search for
big, significant
resources?

4. PERSONALISATION
Reuse allows
use of more
resources,
which equates
with more
choice for
students.
Is there a
downside to
this?
28. MY COMMUNITY
If I belong to a
community
already, then
is this the best
place to look
for great
reusable
resources? Or
would I miss
something?

5. FUNDING
If funding is
available to
get involved in
using, making
or sharing
resources,
then perhaps
that is reason
enough to get
involved?
17. RELIABILITY
Linking to an
external site
to use its
resources is
convenient.
But will the
links always
work when
you need
them to?

29. QUALITY CHECKS

collections/
repositories
offer quality
assurance.
Others leave it
to users to
decide. Is QA
necessary?

information
makes
resources
more easy to
reuse. What

6. POLICY
There has
been support
for reuse and
‘sustainable
elearning’ in
various policy
documents so
far. Does this
go far
enough?
30. PERSISTENCE
Learning to
use a new
repository
takes time. Is
knowing it will
be around and
maintained
far into the
future
important?

7. LEARN NEW STUFF
Does working
with other
people’s stuff
offer effective
development?
Or would you
miss the
creative thrill
of making
your own?
31. RATINGS
Reviews and
ratings are
popular in ecommerce.
How far can
you rely on
these when
choosing
between
resources?

8. CUTTING COSTS
Reusing
resources or
assets made
elsewhere
should cut
costs. Does it?
Or are there
‘hidden’ costs
in reusing
resources?
20. ADAPTABLE
Lego allows
reuse of one
component
with others to
make new
ones. It’s
based on a
standard. Is
this important
to reusability?

32. KNOWN CREATOR
Is knowing
who made the
resource
important in
selection?
Are there lots
of brilliant
resources by
unknowns out
there to find?

Sometimes it’s
the ‘only one’

10. UP TO DATE?
Is it important
to have the
most up-todate version?
Do you expect
the creator to
keep it up to
date? Or once
shared is their
job done?
22. INTER-OPERABLE
Do you expect
resources to
‘plug and play’
into your own
VLE? Would
having to
reformat it be
a significant
turn-off and
deter reuse?

34. PROVED IN USE

reusable
resources are

Others adapt
resources
already used
with students.
Does this

11. CONVENIENCE
Access to
resources
online is now
so convenient
it can replace
using your
own HEI’s
resources. Is
there a
downside?
35. DESCRIPTION
Can the
description
provide all the
information
you ever need
to decide to
use it?
Would a poor
description

12. SPEED/TIME
Do you need a
resource fast?
Don’t have
the time to
make one? Do
you search
and reuse? If
so, does time
searching
really pay off?
24. REPURPOSEABLE
Repurposing a
resource can
just be about
making the
resource look
how you want
it to look. Is
this facility
important to
you?

36. NEW/IMPROVED
Is reuse a way
to update and

teaching? If so
are you
attracted to
easy means of
updating?
