Bridge Course Information

NotebookLM turns your existing documents into an interactive AI research assistant, and, in this session, we'll show you exactly how to put it to work in two practical ways. First, we'll walk through how to use Canvas course materials as knowledge sources, turning your syllabi, readings, transcripts, and assignments into a queryable resource for students and instructors alike. Then we'll shift to research mode, demonstrating how NotebookLM can help you make sense of unfamiliar or complex topics quickly, surfacing connections and synthesizing sources in ways that go far beyond a standard search. Whether you're looking to build a smarter course companion or accelerate your own research process, this session gives you a repeatable workflow you can put into practice the same day.
