eLearning Module
Intro to LLMs
While I've been generally skeptical about a lot of the AI hype, I have to admit Claude Code is a pretty cool experience and very useful for some of the kinds of things I do. I thought it would be fun to create an eLearning course as a kind of ongoing project, and document what I've been doing with it here.
8 May 2026: Created initial project with some basic prompting and a simple outline. I've also had Claude create a Markdown file with all of the slide content as it currently exists, to make my edits and rewrites a little easier. I think it's pretty impressive for spending less time than it took to drink a medium iced chai latte, but I suspect a lot will change by the time I'm done.
12 May 2026: I updated the course content in the Markdown file to flesh out some explanations and add a couple of ideas. I also had Claude make some usability improvements (like adding an index menu to help navigate around the course and keep track of progress). I also had an idea for an interactive feature that might replace or supplement the quizzes, so I'm working on building that out.
15 May 2026:Working on that interactive LLM simulator to test/reinforce the learning in a realistic setting. Currently it's reading prompts, responses, etc. from a custom Markdown file, but I poked around at tools and was reminded of TWINE, so I'm going to try using that to map out the branching content, and then Claude can read it into the simulation.
