Argues the dominant paradigm of runtime GenUI adaptation in EdTech is insufficient. Proposes design-time card-based GenUI where educational content is encoded as modality-agnostic semantic units and GenAI produces multiple interface representations (interactive, audio, simplified text, low-bandwidth) at design time for instructor verification. Embeds Universal Design for Learning into authoring workflow and eliminates per-learner inference costs.
