Personalize learning for students with disabilities using AI: Review

My younger cousin has dyslexia, so I'm always looking for tech that can actually help, not just sound good in theory. The 'AI' in this module's title got my attention. Unfortunately, it's less of a course and more of a PowerPoint presentation you click through. There's no practice, no sandbox, not even a simulated environment. You just read about what Immersive Reader does, what Speaker Coach in PowerPoint can do, and how Copilot *could* theoretically help a teacher adapt a lesson plan.

The entire experience felt like a sales pitch for Microsoft 365. Every “solution” conveniently maps to a feature in Word, Teams, or PowerPoint. The AI angle is especially thin. Most of the tools discussed, like Immersive Reader, have been around for years and are better described as accessibility features, not cutting-edge AI. The module treats AI like a magic wand, showing a prompt to Copilot and then the perfect, polished output. It completely ignores the messy reality of prompt engineering, hallucinations, or the iterative process required to get something useful.

The knowledge check at the end was trivial. You could pass it just by matching product names to their marketing descriptions. It's frustrating, because the problems it describes are real and important. But the module just gestures at them before pointing you toward a product page.
