Trying to get better at getting better

Claude, create an interactive website

Claude, create an interactive website that presents a short text on physiotherapy management of clients with balance dysfunction. Create an SVG image showing the concept of centre of gravity and base of support, and how this affects balance. Include a 5 question MCQ, and a ‘match up the words’-type activity.

The website Claude created

Below on the left, you can see Claude’s explanation of the generated content, and the website on the right. You can save the HTML content to a file with a .html file extension and open it with a browser.

On the right, you can see the 5-question MCQ and a ‘match the terms’-type quiz.

Quizzes

If you’re wondering, the tests are interactive, they actually work, and the score is displayed after completing the quiz (see below).

Now, it’s not perfect. The content is very simple, as are the tests. And the ‘match the terms’ activity had issues with the drop-down options (the correct answer always corresponded with the number of the question i.e. the 3rd option in the drop-down was the answer to the 3rd question).

But, it took me 10 seconds to write the prompt!

Building more sophisticated sites

You could use this as a starting point and build up a more sophisticated prompt, including level of study, more specific or challenging concepts, other interactive elements, more images, and so on. And with Claude’s new Project and Custom Instruction features, you could even include the source material (e.g. book chapters or slides) you want it to reference, as well as the writing style and other features you think are relevant.

Once you have the prompt framework developed, you could simply swap out the variables and create a new site for practically anything you want to learn. Over time, with some coding expertise, you could build really awesome, single-purpose learning materials that suit learners’ individual preferences.

Now for the uncomfortable part…there’s no reason a student needs you to do any of this for them. I feel like we’re quickly approaching a point where anyone can take a programme outline and use that to build a personal curriculum to learn anything.
