Remix Chapters to Create Your Own Textbook
If a complete open textbook does not exist to meet your course needs, you may be able to create an open textbook relatively easily by re-mixing chapters from two or more open textbooks. Because an open textbook can be modified without copyright restrictions, you are free to pick and choose what parts of an open textbook you want to use and combine them with other open textbook chapters or resources in whatever manner you see fit.
The Business Law I open textbook used by RVCC instructors is an example of a remixed textbook created in Pressbooks. Chapters from existing open textbooks were brought into Pressbooks and combined with new chapters authored by Professor Melanie Morris to create a single open textbook that specifically meets the needs of RVCC students.
- Business Law IThis introductory-level textbook for Business Law students covers such topics as alternative dispute resolution, tort law and contract law. This text includes relevant examples from New Jersey law.
Remixed textbook with interactivity
