"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."
Crash tutorials and quick tool-focused courses deliver rapid familiarity and occasional quick wins but lack depth in shaping thoughtful practice. Learning should prioritize ethics, accessibility, and human-centered design to prepare creators for the technological world being built. A different curriculum would ask harder questions, require courage from educators and designers, and teach responsible tool use rather than mere mechanics. Such courses would build habits of critical thinking, inclusive design, and ethical decision-making, equipping learners to design, write, and create with long-term societal and human impact in mind.
