About this Event

Are you curious about AI but unsure how to use it for meaningful academic work? Whether you’ve never used AI, or have already begun integrating it into your teaching practice, join us for a session exploring the ways you might effectively use an AI platform called Notebook LM (one of our PSU-supported AI tools) throughout the teaching and learning process.

We’ll unpack the benefits of generative AI for instructors while creating content, designing effective courses, and supporting students. The session will include time for experimenting with Notebook LM and discussing specific applications for your courses.



This event is open to Portland State University instructors and staff.

The Office of Academic Innovation is committed to making our events accessible to all Portland State University faculty and staff. If you require an accommodation or service to participate, please contact us at [email protected] at least 7 days prior to the event.
