Hello again, Morphoicers!

The course world is moving fast, and today’s news shows just how deeply AI is weaving into both professional training and public education.

From ex-Spotify execs launching their own platform to governments rolling out AI apps for schools, the shifts are clear: learners are expecting more speed, flexibility, and intelligence from every learning experience—including yours.

Let’s unpack what matters now.

Why This Matters for You

• Spot the trends shaping learner expectations.

• Find new angles for course positioning.

• Get inspired to adapt before the curve catches up.

1. Spotify Alumni Bet Big on AI-Generated Courses

The Story: Former Spotify execs Nir Zicherman and Mike Mignano launched Oboe, an AI-driven learning platform that creates custom courses on demand. Think text, audio, essays—all structured for quick learning. (Source: The Verge)

Why It Matters: The bar is rising. Learners will expect adaptive, multimedia learning experiences. For solopreneurs, that’s both competition and inspiration.

Morphoices Take:

• Authenticity is your edge—AI content still needs your voice.

• Fact-check and cite—trust will be a selling point.

• Watch for monetization models (free vs. paid tiers) you can borrow or compete against.

2. Law Schools Make AI Training Mandatory

The Story: At least eight U.S. law schools now require first-year students to study AI—covering use, limits, ethics, and critical evaluation. (Source: Reuters)

Why It Matters: AI literacy is moving from “nice-to-have” to professional baseline. Expect demand for niche courses like AI for [your field].

Morphoices Take:

• Build courses that teach not just “how to use AI” but how to think with AI.

• Partner with experts in regulated industries for added credibility.

• Ethics modules can differentiate your course from generic AI trainings.

3. Education Shifts from Blocking AI to Teaching It

The Story: Law schools are embedding AI into orientation, research modules, and writing practice—not just teaching tools, but training students to spot bias and errors. (Source: Reuters)

Why It Matters: Courses that blend skills with critical literacy will stand out.

Morphoices Take: Add “AI literacy checkpoints” to your course—help learners spot flaws and think critically, not just consume.

4. Australia Rolls Out AI Chat App for Students

The Story: Starting October, NSW public schools will give students in Years 5–12 access to NSWEduChat, a generative AI app aligned with curriculum. (Source: News.com.au)

Why It Matters: An entire generation is learning with AI from age 10. They’ll grow up expecting interactive, AI-assisted learning experiences.

Morphoices Take:

• Design with interactivity baked in—quizzes, feedback loops, adaptive learning prompts.

• If you teach younger learners, watch for opportunities to align with public initiatives.

• Privacy, ethics, and safe use will be part of the sales pitch.

5. US Education Department Greenlights AI in Classrooms

The Story: The Department of Education is encouraging schools to use AI for tutoring, advising, and personalized learning. Bonus: federal grant money can now be applied to AI tools. (Source: Times of India)

Why It Matters: Funding creates opportunities. If your course or tools align with grant criteria, you could tap into a publicly backed growth channel.

Morphoices Take: Build with accountability, transparency, and measurable outcomes in mind—exactly what schools and funders want.

Key Takeaways

• AI-first platforms like Oboe are setting the pace—speed and personalization win.

• Professional fields are baking AI literacy into the basics—your courses can too.

• Public schools are normalizing AI-assisted learning—expect higher learner expectations.

• Funding + policy mean responsible, outcome-driven design isn’t optional—it’s strategy.

Until next time, simplify smart and build bold.
