Now that Google's Gemini and NotebookLM are free for one year to college students nationwide, it's time to take a serious look at how they work, what they can - and can't - do, and how they can augment (not de-skill us or circumvent) learning, studying, writing, teaching, assessment design, and knowledge management. Participants will be able to conceptualize how to use NotebookLM to simulate scholarly dialogues, model theoretical scenarios, or forge interdisciplinary connections from their existing research materials, and design learning activities where NotebookLM acts as a personalized tutor, dynamic case study generator, or a Socratic questioning partner to foster deeper student engagement and critical thinking.
