Advancing Claude for Education

Today, we’re sharing a first look at upcoming integrations with Canvas, Panopto, and Wiley that bring Claude to Canvas and rich educational context to student conversations in Claude for Education .

Additionally, we’ve expanded our student ambassador and builder programs, launched our first free AI Fluency course , and welcomed several new institutions—including the University of San Francisco School of Law and Northumbria University—further advancing responsible AI adoption in higher education.

To make Claude a more powerful study companion, we’re building toward a future where students can reference readings, lecture recordings, visualizations, and textbook content directly within their conversations. Today, we’re sharing a first look at integrations with popular educational tools and resources rolling out over the next few weeks.

Northumbria University recognizes that today's digital-native students expect modern, technology-enhanced education. “The availability of secure and ethical AI tools is a significant consideration for our applicants, and our investment in Claude for Education will position Northumbria as a forward-thinking leader in ethical AI innovation,” shares Graham Wynn, Vice-Chancellor for Education at Northumbria University. “Empowering students and staff, providing cutting-edge learning opportunities, driving social mobility, and powering an inclusive economy are at the heart of everything we do. We know how important it is to eliminate digital poverty and provide equitable access to the most powerful AI tools, so our students and graduates are AI literate with the skills they need for the workplaces of the future.”

Students and educators will be able to connect Wiley and Panopto to Claude using pre-built MCP servers. With these integrations, users can reference lecture transcripts from Panopto and dive deep into their universities’ collections of authoritative, peer-reviewed content on Wiley—all within their Claude conversations.

“The future of research depends on keeping high-quality, peer-reviewed content central to AI-powered discovery," says Josh Jarrett, Senior Vice President of AI Growth at Wiley. "This partnership sets the standard for integrating trusted scientific content with AI platforms while creating a scalable solution for other institutions. By adopting the Model Context Protocol, we're ensuring authoritative research remains discoverable in an AI-driven landscape.”

Additionally, Claude now supports Canvas LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability), allowing students to use Claude directly within their Canvas courses without switching between platforms.
