New Course: Claude: Interface and Core Features
Summary
Our new course, Claude: Interface and Core Features, builds a working knowledge of Anthropic's AI assistant from the ground up. Learners will get oriented in the interface, explore Claude's wider product ecosystem, and take a practical look at its five key features, before applying what they have learned to common professional tasks. Now available in the AI collection.
Most professionals who use Claude are using a fraction of what it can do. Our new course, Claude: Interface and Core Features, gives learners a proper grounding in the platform: how it is structured, what its features actually do, and how to apply it confidently to everyday work.
The course moves from interface orientation through to hands-on practice, covering the full Claude ecosystem, the terminology that distinguishes it from other AI platforms, and the failure modes worth knowing how to handle.
🎯 What This Course Enables
Learners will be able to:
Identify the core areas of the Claude interface and manage conversations effectively
Switch between model tiers and configure key settings before getting started
Understand how usage, plans, and subscriptions work across the Claude ecosystem
Identify Claude products beyond the chat interface and understand where each fits
Set up and use Claude's five key features: Projects, artifacts, Skills, extended thinking, and memory
Map Claude's terminology to concepts from other AI platforms and familiar workflows
Distinguish between in-thread output and artifact output, and know when each is appropriate
Apply Claude to common professional tasks, including drafting, summarising, and refining outputs
Recognise and correct Claude's common failure modes within a conversation
📚 Course Highlights
The Interface: Orients learners in Claude's layout, shows how to start and manage conversations, and covers the settings worth checking before getting to work.
The Wider Ecosystem: Steps back from the chat interface to explain how usage and plans work, introduce other Claude products, and give a first look at the features explored in depth later in the course.
Five Key Features: A focused look at Projects, artifacts, Skills, extended thinking, and memory, covering what each one does, how to set it up, and when it is worth using.
Claude's Vocabulary: Unpacks Claude's terminology and maps it to familiar concepts, clarifies the distinction between in-thread and artifact output, and explores what makes Claude distinctive compared to other AI platforms.
Claude in Practice: Puts everything together through common professional tasks: drafting, summarising, and refining outputs within a conversation, with attention to recognising and correcting the failure modes most likely to appear.
💡 Why This Matters
Claude is only as useful as the person using it understands it. A proper grounding in the interface, features, and vocabulary makes the difference between a tool you reach for occasionally and one that becomes a reliable part of how you work. This course gives learners that grounding in a single, focused session.
