In this collection, we present the perspectives of seven different writing instructors from backgrounds ranging from comparative literature, creative writing, English, history, and writing studies. We all work in the UC Santa Barbara Writing Program, which has multiple upper-division courses and a Professional Writing Minor track in Science Communication. Here we share our different pedagogical reflections, as well as specific assignments, to illustrate a range of interdisciplinary lenses that can be brought to the classroom.

The fact that I'm not a professor of professional writing or computer design allows for "Road Trip," with its basic code creation, to be of pedagogical use for students and teachers with limited technological resources. Through a scholarly engagement with creative writing, electronic literature, and design, this writing experiment is an example of the fun that a little, simple creative writing/coding can be for the creative writer.
