"My own sleepless thoughts on why the future of learning must go beyond crash tutorials and tackle ethics, accessibility, and human-centered design. It's 3:47 AM. I should be asleep. Instead, I'm lying here, staring at the ceiling, replaying a single restless thought: 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 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. Courses that don't just hand us tools, but show us how to use them responsibly."
Education needs deeper, more responsible curricula that go beyond tool-focused crash courses. Quick tutorials can provide fast familiarity and occasional wins, but they rarely cultivate ethical thinking, accessibility awareness, or human-centered design practice. Courses should teach how to use tools responsibly, ask harder questions, and require greater courage from teachers, writers, and designers. Learning should prepare people to shape design, writing, and creation for a world defined by accessibility and ethics, replacing hacks with rigorous, practice-oriented training that centers human needs and inclusive design.
