Google’s NotebookLM can be an innovative partner as you design instructional materials. Upload up to 20 sources–including YouTube videos and audio files–then ask NotebookLM to create summaries, notes, assessment questions, and even an AI-generated podcast conversation based on the sources you select.

It is important to be attentive to FERPA, data privacy, copyright and intellectual property laws and policies as you select sources to load into NotebookLM. Open Educational Resources, publicly-available and public domain sources, and materials you design are all great options for sources to include.

Bonus Tip: Share your notebooks with colleagues and collaborators who can edit materials in a shared project, or share view and interaction access with students to create an interactive learning experience covering multiple course sources in different formats.
