"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. Courses that don't just hand us tools, but show us how to use them responsibly."
Crash tutorials and short hacks provide quick wins and help learners pick up tools, but they fail to shape deeper practices in design, writing, and creation. The future of learning requires curricula that prioritize accessibility, ethics, and human-centered technology. Courses should ask harder questions, demand courage from teachers, writers, and designers, and teach responsible tool use rather than only techniques. A different kind of curriculum would move beyond tutorials and hacks to cultivate critical thinking, ethical judgment, and inclusive design skills that prepare learners to build technology that serves diverse human needs.
