OER Projects and Sites at John Jay
John Jay College of Criminal Justice is dedicated to fostering the use of open and alternative resources in order to provide every undergraduate student, regardless of their financial resources, access to a high quality education.
John Jay College Justice eReader
The John Jay College Justice eReader is a digital textbook on the Pressbooks platform. It is a product of the Transforming the Justice Core Project, made possible through funding from the Teagle Foundation.
An interdisciplinary group of scholars at John Jay identified Supreme Court cases that highlight social justice issues and their intersection with legal and criminal justice professions. The eReader includes readings and media that help students analyze several landmark cases. Faculty in the working group have created syllabi and assignments purpose-built for transfer students who have completed their associate degree. This text is organized by case and contains both original content, written by John Jay College faculty, and curated Open Educational Resources.

This is an exceptional opportunity for John Jay College faculty to collaborate and contribute to the development of an innovative and comprehensive OER eReader that will benefit both our students and the academic community at large.
