About this resource

NotebookLM is an AI-assisted research and note-taking tool from Google that summarizes and organizes uploaded sources. Use case: Each week, the instructor uploads the unit’s readings and lecture notes into NotebookLM and generates a short podcast-style Audio Overview to serve as the Weekly Introduction. The audio is posted in Canvas so students can preview the topic on the go.

Equity considerations

Provide accessibility by posting transcripts or captions for the audio overview and a written Weekly Introduction. NotebookLM is browser-based and free, but avoid uploading sensitive or private data into the tool.
