To demonstrate a designerly approach to teaching through critical making and design, this project presents an interactive webcomic that simulates an interface for an online asynchronous course on professional writing. In particular, Bahl relies on the framing metaphor of the greenhouse, growing plants, and botanical diagrams to create a shared conceptual space between students and instructor. Through this project, Bahl approaches her pedagogical work as instructor in a way that reflects her commitment as a scholar to multimodal knowledge creation and to design as a way of knowing.
