"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. 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."
The future of learning must move beyond short crash tutorials and prioritize ethics, accessibility, and human-centered design. Quick courses scratch an itch, teach tools, and enable rapid wins, but they do not shape how people design, write, or create for complex social and technological contexts. Learning should emphasize curricula that ask harder questions, demand courage from teachers and designers, and teach responsible tool use. Courses should prepare learners for a world shaped by accessibility and ethical considerations, focusing on long-term judgment, inclusive practices, and the human impacts of technology rather than solely on immediate, tactical skills.
