Claude Skills for Educators

The LDTI GenAI Tinker Sessions provide an opportunity for academic staff to try out different tools, experiment with their functionality, and think about how they could be used in day-to-day work. Tinker sessions are intended for academic staff and will include activities focused on teaching activities. 

Join LDTI for a discussion of, and hands on experimentation with, creating Skills with Anthropic’s Claude LLM. By the end of this session, participants will have:

• Been introduced to Claude's model tiers and the Effort controls.
• Reviewed, briefly, the essential terms of use — especially the data and privacy choices that matter on a free account.
• Enabled Skills and successfully added one to their account.
• Built a personalised Skill relevant to their own work, with Claude's help.
• Seen where Projects and Claude Design fit, as features to explore later.

In the lead up to the session, LDTI will email all registrants with details of any supporting material that will be required. Given the hands-on nature of these sessions, recordings are not available. However, resources (e.g. example prompts etc.) are shared following each session.

Tinker sessions support the University's commitment to providing opportunities for staff and students to develop the ability to apply GenAI to real work experiences through the development of resources to support GenAI literacy (Policy on the use of Generative AI in Teaching, Learning and Assessment).
