"My own sleepless thoughts on why the future of learning must go beyond crash tutorials and tackle ethics, accessibility, and human-centered design. It's 3:47 AM. I should be asleep. Instead, I'm lying here, staring at the ceiling, replaying a single restless thought: 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 to a quick win. But they're not the kind of courses that shape how we design, write, or create. 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."
Short crash tutorials and hack-style courses deliver quick tool skills and occasional wins. Those offerings often proliferate as short, surface-level training like "Learn Figma in 5 Days" or "Top 10 AI Hacks." Such courses scratch an itch but fail to shape deeper practices in design, writing, and creation. The current landscape does not adequately prepare learners for a world shaped by accessibility, ethics, and human-centered technology. A different curriculum is needed: courses that ask harder questions, demand courage from teachers and creators, and teach responsible, human-centered use of tools.
