AI in your course
A practical, hands-on session on using GenAI to build learning resources for your students. To get ideas flowing, we’ll look at a few examples: a simulation game, an audit trail tool and a term planner. Then it’s your turn, with time to experiment and start creating something for your own course.
No prior experience with AI tools is needed. Bring your laptop, and a teaching idea or challenge you’d like to work on. If you don’t have a laptop, you can work with a colleague.
Part 1
Examples made with Claude
Dori shows resources built with Claude and now hosted on Lovable, a service for publishing web apps, and Haider presents the Audit Trail Assessment Toolkit.
Audit Trail Assessment Toolkit
A guide to designing assessments where students record what they did and why, not just the final product, with templates, rubric guidance and a readiness checklist.
Presented by Dr Haider Ali, Extended Education
By Haider Ali, Dorottya Sallai and colleagues.
Open the toolkit
Assessment and term planner 2026/27
Brings students’ courses, assessment deadlines, weightings and timetable into one week-by-week planner for the term, saved to their account.
Open the term planner
Assessment tracker
Helps students plan revision around their exams and deadlines, with a daily schedule, a focus timer and a countdown to each exam.

Simulation game: Project Lodestar
A change management simulation Dori is building with Claude, still a work in progress. Students lead an AI roll-out at a fictional insurer, choosing a change lever each turn to move 20 key people towards adoption within 52 weeks and £1.2 million.

Part 2
Your turn: use GenAI to make learning resources you can keep
Set up a Claude Project with your own course materials, then use it to make an interactive activity or an animated explainer video for your students. Everything you make is a file you download and keep.
Start with the digital worksheet
It takes you through this part of the session, step by step.
Open the worksheet
You’ll need an LSE Claude account
To do the activities, you need an LSE Claude account. If you don’t have one, request one with this form. Accounts aren’t activated straight away, so for today, work with a colleague who already has one.
If you have an account but see “Access denied” when you open shared resources, you’re probably not signed in with SSO. Follow the steps on Troubleshooting in the worksheet.
-
Digital worksheet
Steps, prompts to copy and examples, in 14 screens.
-
Printed companion (PDF, 4 pages)
The steps on paper, so you can follow the instructions while using Claude on a small screen, without switching tabs too often. It tells you which worksheet screen has each prompt to copy.
-
Accessible PDF version of the worksheet
The full worksheet as a tagged PDF, for screen readers and other assistive technology, with all the prompts written out.
Part 3
After the session
Optional extras for when you have more time.
How the Part 2 resources were made
Steven Williams made the resources for Part 2 with Claude, in a single chat, as one pack of linked resources: the digital worksheet, the slides, an accessible PDF version of the worksheet and a printed companion. Making them together meant each one could point to the others. The slides show which worksheet screen to open, the printed companion tells you where to find each prompt, and the accessible PDF follows the worksheet screen by screen.
The slides were made with Claude’s new Slides feature, which lets you edit the content of a deck directly in Claude while also asking Claude to make changes. Small fixes can be made by hand, and bigger changes described to Claude.
Each resource was then exported from Claude as an HTML or PDF file and hosted here on GitHub Pages, so none of them depends on a Claude account to open.
