As an Associate Professor teaching Introduction to Criminal Justice at a college where students from all majors take the course, I’ve found BNC OER+ to be a valuable resource in supporting student learning and engagement. The BNC OER+ textbook is clear, accessible, and written in a way that helps students understand the foundational concepts of the criminal justice system without feeling overwhelmed.

One of the most beneficial aspects of BNC OER+ is having everything in one place—readings, assessments, gradebook, and multimedia content. This centralized structure helps students stay organized and makes it easier for me to manage the course. The embedded videos in each chapter are especially helpful for visual learners, and students appreciate being able to take quizzes and assessments directly from the textbook. BNC OER+ has truly enhanced my teaching and improved student engagement.
