Instructors as innovators
This paper provides concrete examples of prompts and exercises that cover different pedagogical approaches – simulation, critique, co-creation, mentoring and tutoring. These can serve as a starting point for educators to experiment with AI in their classrooms as part of a pedagogically-informed approach.

Using Claude to create patient personas for health professions education
Health professions education aims to provide students with practical clinical experience and skills in person-centred care before graduating, and simulated patient interactions are a potential teaching method. However, these interactions can be resource-intensive and expensive, especially if actors are included. AI assistants like Claude provide a scalable alternative for role-playing dialogue. This post describes the…
