Anthropic has opened access to three free courses on AI usage for students and educators. The courses are created in collaboration with educators and are designed for a university audience. They cover topics on the responsible application of AI in learning and teaching, and also help integrate such tools into the daily work of students and educators.
Each course contains four to seven videos lasting from 25 to 35 minutes. Access is free, and participants receive a certificate upon completion. The materials are distributed under a Creative Commons license, allowing educational institutions to adapt them to their own needs.
Separately, Anthropic introduced the “Learning Mode” in the chatbots Claude.ai and Claude Code. In Claude Learning Mode, users receive prompts in the form of guiding questions, which helps better assimilate the material rather than just getting a ready answer. In Claude Code, the “Explanatory learning” mode explains the logic of solutions, while “Learning Mode” offers to fill in the gaps in the code for collaborative work.
Anthropic also established an advisory board on higher education, chaired by Rick Levin, former head of Yale University and Coursera. The board consists of academic leaders and assisted in developing new courses aimed at supporting ethical standards and protecting student privacy.
