Rethinking Study Prep: A Workshop Using NotebookLM

Tuesday May 12, 2026 2:15pm - 3:15pm PDT

Shiley Hall 312

Google’s NotebookLM is a powerful, flexible tool—but its real value emerges when students use it intentionally. This workshop explores how NotebookLM can support reflection and metacognition by helping students actively decide what to study, not just how long to study. Rather than defaulting to rereading notes or cramming everything at once, students learn how to curate key materials from class, organize them purposefully, and transform them into personalized study supports.

Participants will examine concrete strategies for selecting high-value content, identifying core concepts, and recognizing gaps in their own understanding. The session emphasizes metacognitive habits that prompt students to think about their learning choices, evaluate what is working, and adjust accordingly. By shifting from passive review to intentional preparation, students build stronger ownership of their learning and develop practical skills to study more effectively—both for assessments and long-term understanding.
