Future-proofing courses means designing them so they are easier to update and more inclusive, writes Gennadii Miroshnikov (King’s College London). Miroshnikov recommends beginning with a course structure that makes sense to others in case of a role change, and designing the course in blocks so that each component can be updated without a redesign of the whole module. The author emphasizes building the course so that accessibility is part of its design, there is a plan for keeping content current, and assessment feels meaningful and authentic. AI should be used for future-proofing support rather than design, writes Miroshnikov. “Future-proofing is not prediction work,” concludes the author. “It is design work.”
