Using Google NotebookLM as a Learning Tool - In-Person Session
Wed 1/14 • 1PM - 2PM PST
YRL 21570
The UCLA Teaching and Learning Center’s (TLC) Instructional Design and Media Production team will host the GenAI Tools Workshop Series to support instructors interested in thoughtfully exploring how to use Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) to further enhance their teaching. Participants will build AI literacy, explore classroom integration strategies, and design meaningful learning activities that promote critical thinking and student engagement in the AI era.
The first workshop in the series will explore how Google NotebookLM, an AI-powered notebook designed to help users organize, synthesize, and generate insights, can be used to support their class learning goals.
During the workshop, we will explore and discuss
-What is Google NotebookLM?
-How to use it as a learning tool?
-Writing tips for GenAI prompts
-Sample uses of Google NotebookLM in an educational setting
-Academic integrity considerations when introducing GenAI into a classroom
By this end of this workshop, participants will be able to
-Describe the core features and functions of Google NotebookLM and explain how it differs from other generative AI tools.
-Demonstrate how to use NotebookLM to organize, summarize, and synthesize learning materials or course readings.
-Apply effective prompt-writing strategies to guide AI toward producing relevant, accurate, and pedagogically useful responses.
-Analyze sample educational scenarios that illustrate how NotebookLM can support student learning and critical thinking.
-Evaluate issues of academic integrity, bias, and ethical use when integrating generative AI tools like NotebookLM into teaching and learning contexts.
