Dear Faculty,
We wish you well as you wrap up the semester. It is a busy time of year, so we wanted to share a couple of quick, high-impact ways to use NotebookLM, as a follow up to our introduction of the tool. We hope you take a moment to try them out!
1. Create Study Guides: Upload a dense reading and ask NotebookLM’s Studio feature to generate custom Flashcards or a full FAQ document for your students.
2. Audit Your Readings: Put all your course sources into one notebook and ask it to identify overlap between readings or highlight key debates for class discussion.
Here is an easy way to get started using Notebook LM:
Upload: Choose one long PDF or Google Doc you’re using in your next lesson.
Prompt: Use the chat to ask: “What are the five most essential points in this document?”
Save: Pin the response as a Note in your notebook to use as a quick prep summary.
For a complete overview of features and how to use the Studio mode for things like video overviews and reports, watch this guide: The Ultimate Guide to Google NotebookLM -All 2025 Updates
As always, feel free to reach out to one of us if you have any questions or have any exciting new examples of eLearning tools you’d like to share!
Your eLearning Team, Susan, Jad, Shane, Nathan
