Agentic coding for accessible design
Field.Notes documents practical ways educators can use agentic coding to transform how information is structured and experienced. Instead of generating more content, these approaches re-represent existing material to make it more visual, interactive, and accessible.

Mode 1
Transform linear content into navigable environments, maps, or interactive conceptual experiences.
Support associative thinking, exploration, and non-linear engagement.
Mode 2
Convert static structured documents (tables, rubrics, curriculum guides) into interactive tools that generate or reorganise information.
Move from passive reading to active interaction.
Mode 3
Transform dense text (articles, lecture notes, policies, strategy documents) into structured, visual, interactive webpages.
Offer alternate access points for neurodivergent learners and reduce cognitive load through segmentation and visual architecture.
Mode 4
Build lightweight tools fast when a real student need appears, then refine them through short feedback loops.
Prioritise practical support over polish: test early, adjust quickly, and keep the workflow simple enough to use immediately.
Recently, the TEDxNewy team put on a unique salon event at the Q Building at the University of Newcastle. For me, as Head of Salons and Activations, the salon was a fascinating case study in how agentic coding and event planning can fuse into something that heightens consistency of communication and a fluency of design thinking, and establishes new avenues for visual accessibility, that feels like nothing I’ve previously experienced.
I thought it would be useful to share examples of this in an article for anybody else working in a similar capacity, or for those who are interested in the possibilities that are forever opening in this space.
