"Students will need to gather and prepare the assets needed for the game. Although editing is important, you should be more concerned with the appropriateness of the assets and their relevance to the audience and purpose.
Students are expected demonstrate an understanding ofcopyright and other constraints on the use of digital material produced by others.
Students should have included an assets table giving relevant information about the assets used, including where and why they have used them and how they have edited them to make them suitable. Sources must be acknowledged in sufficient detail to enable someone else to locate them."
