GenAI Tools Series Workshop Creating Knowledge Base Using Google NotebookLM for Student Engagement
Wed 4/15 • 1PM - 2PM PDT
Join us for the second topic in the TLC's GenAI Tools Series: Creating Knowledge Base Using Google NotebookLM for Student Engagement
Date: Wednesday, April, 15 2026
Time: 1 - 2 p.m.
Location: Zoom
During the workshop, we will explore and discuss:
• The role of AI-supported knowledge construction in enhancing student engagement and deeper learning.
• How Google NotebookLM can be used to curate, organize, and connect course materials into interactive knowledge bases.
• Strategies for involving students in co-creating and expanding shared AI-assisted notebooks as part of their learning process.
• Examples of how NotebookLM can support collaborative inquiry, reflection, and critical discussion in academic settings.
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
• Explain how creating shared or individual knowledge bases in Google NotebookLM can enhance student engagement and active learning.
• Demonstrate how to organize readings, notes, and resources in NotebookLM to scaffold knowledge building across a course or project.
• Design learning activities that engage students in analyzing, connecting, and synthesizing information using NotebookLM.
• Integrate NotebookLM into classroom or online environments to promote collaborative inquiry and reflective dialogue.
• Evaluate ethical and pedagogical considerations when using AI-generated insights in shared student learning spaces.
Instructors who complete all three workshops will be eligible to receive $500 in seed funds for AI tool licensing and further experimentation with AI in teaching and learning.
