"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. 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."
Short, crash-style courses proliferate, offering quick tool-focused wins like "Learn Figma in 5 Days" or "Top 10 AI Hacks for Beginners." Those offerings scratch an itch and help learners pick up specific tools, but they fail to shape durable practices in design, writing, or creation. The current educational emphasis neglects ethics, accessibility, and human-centered technology. A different curriculum is required: one that asks harder questions, pushes educators to exercise courage, and teaches responsible use of tools. Courses should center ethics, accessibility, and human-centered design rather than prioritizing rapid tutorials or superficial hacks.
