Time to Update our Educational Skills: We Build a Muscle Fibre Page without Breaking a Sweat

Picture this: You're a Health and Sport Sciences lecturer, it’s Monday morning, the projector bulb has gone again, your whiteboard marker is as dry as your post-leg-day quads, and your students look like they’ve just been told burpees are back on the menu. Welcome to teaching.

But wait. AI is knocking on the door...

Yes, that’s right. Artificial Intelligence, once the domain of Hollywood androids and tech bros in black turtlenecks, now wants to help you explain the wonders of the muscle fibre. Without breaking a sweat. Or a single marker.

To the point. Our prompt for Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental:

Create an interactive educational webpage to teach the function and physiology of muscle fibers. The target audience is first-year university students in health and sports sciences. Use CSS, JS, and HTML, but put it all in a single HTML file for web use. Make sure to use Plotly.js for advanced graphics and that the page is optimized for smartphone viewing as well.

To visualize the results, all we need is to copy the code Gemini generated, open Notepad, paste, and save it as an HTML file (not TXT!)... e voilà! Just open the file with any browser.

No excuse any longer. Let's do our own homework. Keep in mind that this code was generated from Gemini's 'resident' knowledge. Even better results should be obtained if you provide a specific textbook or source with your prompt. Perfect? No. But Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental just puts us in the best position to make it so. Literally in a few minutes!

Note: Plotly.js is a powerful, open-source JavaScript graphic library designed to create interactive, high-quality charts and graphs directly in web browsers, very handy for scientific subjects.
