"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."
"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. Courses that don't just hand us tools, but show us how to use them responsibly. Here's the list I wish existed. Maybe the list we need."
Crash tutorials and five-day tool courses provide quick familiarity and occasional wins but fail to instill deeper practice or judgment. Learning must emphasize ethics, accessibility, and human-centered design so creators build responsible, inclusive technologies. Curricula should move beyond teaching tools to teaching how to use them responsibly, demanding critical questioning and courage from educators and designers. Courses should cultivate long-term thinking, inclusive practices, and ethical decision-making rather than shortcuts and hacks. A redesigned curriculum would prioritize shaping how people design, write, and create for a world defined by accessibility, ethics, and human-centered technology.
