"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."
"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."
Many current learning offerings prioritize short, tool-focused tutorials that deliver quick wins but do not develop deeper skills or critical judgement. Quick crash courses help learners pick up tools and scratch immediate needs, yet they rarely shape how people design, write, or create. Future curricula must emphasize ethics, accessibility, and human-centered technology. Educators should design courses that ask harder questions, require courage, and teach responsible, context-aware use of tools. Such curricula should prepare learners for societal impacts and inclusive practices rather than just rapid tool adoption. Creating this shift requires commitment from teachers, writers, and designers.
