By Greg Hart, CEO of Coursera
I’m thrilled to announce that Anthropic, one of the top AI research firms in the world, has introduced a Coursera course and specialization that teach students and developers how to collaborate with Claude, Anthropic’s reliable AI helper.
Only one-third of workers claim to have gotten training on how to interact with AI at work, despite the fact that AI is changing every facet of the workplace. Scaling practical AI education that supports workforce preparedness and increases individual productivity is crucial. The goal of Anthropic’s new content is to provide students with first-hand, practical experience with Claude and to help them develop the self-assurance and abilities necessary to work well with AI.

Modules in the course include:
- Getting Started with Claude: Learn API fundamentals, model selection, and how to make your first API call to Claude.
- Prompt Engineering & Evaluation: Master the art of designing, refining, and testing high-quality prompts for reliable results.
- Claude Features and Tool Use: Unlock advanced capabilities, including structured data handling, tool use, and response optimization.
- Model Context Protocol (MCP): Build modular, extensible AI applications using Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol.
Together, these modules equip learners with the technical foundation and real-world skills to use, develop, and deploy AI safely, effectively, and confidently with Claude’s API and developer tools.
Expanding access to AI skills through a partnership with AWIT
To complement the developer-focused content, Anthropic’s collaboration with Advancing Women in Technology (AWIT) brings AI learning to everyone — regardless of their background or experience. Real-World AI for Everyone is a three-course Specialization that helps learners of all experience levels build practical fluency for using AI in their daily work. The Specialization features:
- AI Fundamentals with Claude: Learn how to structure prompts and context to get useful, high-quality responses, and turn rough ideas into polished deliverables using Claude Artifacts.
- AI Collaboration with Claude: Strengthen your ability to think and create with effective prompting strategies, crafting unique messages for different audiences, and analyzing complex information with AI.
- AI Automation with Claude: Use Claude Projects to automate repeatable tasks, scale your results, and apply AI beyond text by using multimodal inputs and retrieval-augmented generation to achieve real-world goals.
This collaboration — combining Anthropic’s commitment to safe AI, Coursera’s global learning platform, and AWIT’s inclusive learning content — empowers learners everywhere to engage with AI thoughtfully and apply it meaningfully in their work and communities.
