"We don't need more courses. We need better ones. Everywhere I look, someone is launching a "Learn Figma in 5 Days" crash course or a "Top 10 AI Hacks for Beginners" tutorial. And don't get me wrong - those courses aren't useless. They scratch an itch, they help you pick up a tool, and sometimes they even get you a quick win."
"They're not the courses that prepare us for the world we're building right now - a world shaped by accessibility, ethics, and human-centered technology. At 3 AM, when sleep feels impossible, I find myself scribbling down a list. A different kind of curriculum. Not tutorials, not hacks, but courses that ask harder questions. Courses that demand more courage from teachers, writers, and designers."
Learning needs higher-quality curricula that go beyond short crash tutorials and tool-focused hacks. Quick courses can deliver immediate practical skills and quick wins but fail to shape deeper design, writing, and creative practices. Education should center ethics, accessibility, and human-centered technology to prepare learners for complex real-world challenges. New curricula should prioritize hard questions, responsible tool use, and demand courage from educators, writers, and designers. Courses should teach not only how to operate tools but how to evaluate impacts, make inclusive choices, and embed ethical considerations into design processes.
