A multi-semester site: crime zines
I am going to try to construct a site that can house readings using hypothesis annotation software, the course syllabus, weekly work, a research resource library, a description of our collaborative project, and a showcase of digital and in real life (irl) zines about what is “true” and what is not about crime stories with student input and permission. I am considering a blog or vlog as well. I am hoping for an aesthetic design that includes a minimalist and clear layout that keep viewers in the site, creates a sense of our collective identity, and that respects privacy.

Introduction and goals for 67
I am Jason Leggett and have worked on a variety of OER materials and Open Pedagogy projects in the past. This course needs to be redesigned to align with our new sequency goals, terms & concepts we want students to focus on, and learning outcomes consistent with the John Jay equivalent course.
