This page gathers a representative selection of online syllabi and sites for courses taught by Danny Snelson at UCLA from 2017 to the present. 

For a short recorded demo of some of the expanded uses of platforms in these courses, see “Breaking the Zoom Barrier: XR Experiments in Pedagogy & Production“  and “XR for Poetics & Play: A Pedagogical Inventory” as part of the UCLA X-Reality Initiative.

For a description of publishing in the classroom, see my essay “Grey Libraries: Publishing as Pedagogy, an Annotated Bibliography” as part of the collection Library of Artistic Print on Demand: Post- Digital Publishing in Times of Platform Capitalism, ed. Andreas Bülhoff and Annette Gilbert (Spector Books, 2025). 

For recent coverage of these courses, see a UCLA Newsroom feature on my “Algo-Lit” course, as well as a recent conversation with Jacob Foster, a public feature in dot.la, and student-led coverage on a range of courses in the Daily Bruin and FEM Magazine.

Most recently, my teaching is highlighted in conversation with my book The Little Database  (University of Minnesota Press, 2025) as featured in my UCLA Newsroom article “Of little databases and the poetics of the web revival.”
