Google NotebookLM: Mastery Course

 

Special Note to New Hampshire Residents
This course has not yet been approved by the New Hampshire Department of Education. Please contact us for an update on when the class will be available in New Hampshire.

Duration

This course is 2 hours of live instruction, plus 90 minutes of supplemental on-demand, self-study material to provide additional depth, configuration details, and optional advanced features. The self-study, on-demand content is not required for successful participation in the live, instructor-led session.

Overview

This NotebookLM Mastery training course builds on the foundational skills taught in NotebookLM Essentials and focuses on using NotebookLM to support deeper research, learning design, and team-based knowledge work. In this course, learners move beyond individual feature use and learn how to plan work intentionally, expand their source corpus safely, and design repeatable workflows using NotebookLM’s Studio tools.
The live session emphasizes judgment, workflow design, and orchestration, while advanced configuration options, scale considerations, and specialized features are reinforced through on-demand modules.

Prerequisites

Learners should have completed NotebookLM Essentials or equivalent experience using NotebookLM to create notebooks, add sources, ask grounded questions, and generate Studio outputs.
Comfort working with multi-document projects is strongly recommended.

Who This Class Is For

This class is designed for learners who want to use NotebookLM beyond basic summarization, including:
• Researchers and analysts working with large or evolving document sets
• Educators, trainers, and instructional designers designing courses or programs
• L&D and enablement professionals
• Knowledge workers supporting teams or departments
• Power users who want to design repeatable AI-assisted workflows

What You Will Learn

By the end of this class, you will be able to:
• Plan and structure NotebookLM projects for complex or long-running work
• Safely expand your source set using Fast Research and Deep Research
• Design advanced Studio outputs aligned to specific goals
• Reuse prompts and outputs to create repeatable workflows
• Use Audio Overviews, including interactive mode, as a clarification and sense-making tool
• Collaborate with others using shared notebooks and simple governance norms
• Understand scaling, limits, and deployment considerations
• Integrate NotebookLM into broader research, learning, or content workflows

COURSE OUTLINE

Thinking in Projects, Not Just Individual Notebooks

  • How advanced users approach NotebookLM differently
  • Choosing the right notebook strategy for larger or ongoing work
  • Planning a research or design task before adding sources
  • Managing scale: source limits, notebook boundaries, and performance
  • When to split, archive, or snapshot notebooks *

Finding and Expanding Sources with Confidence

  • Fast Research versus Deep Research: when to use each
  • Writing strong research questions for Deep Research
  • Running Deep Research and understanding its reports
  • Deciding what to import and what to discard
  • Evaluating trust, bias, and quality in discovered sources *
  • Reusing successful research approaches across projects *

Designing Advanced Studio Workflows

  • Choosing the right Studio outputs for your goal
  • Creating a full research summary or literature review
  • Using “View custom prompt” to learn from effective outputs
  • Chaining outputs together (report to guide to quiz or media)
  • Using Notes to connect ideas across a project
  • Exporting and reusing Studio outputs across tools *

Using Audio Overviews for Deeper Understanding

  • When Audio Overviews are useful and when they are not
  • Understanding the different Audio Overview formats
  • Using Interactive Audio Overview mode to ask clarification questions
  • What interactive audio can and cannot do
  • When to follow up with written outputs instead *

Working with Others: Sharing, Governance, and Insight

  • Sharing notebooks: viewers, editors, and chat-only access
  • Collaborating without losing track of changes
  • Public versus private sharing constraints *
  • Understanding usage analytics and what they indicate *
  • Establishing simple governance norms for consistent use *

Scaling and Integrating NotebookLM

  • Using NotebookLM alongside other research or productivity tools
  • Understanding plan tiers, quotas, and scale considerations *
  • Managing feature availability across users and accounts *
  • Designing a repeatable advanced-use workflow
  • Knowing when NotebookLM is not the right tool

Additional On-Demand Content

  • This course includes approximately 90 minutes of supplemental on-demand self-study material. Topics covered exclusively in the on-demand content are marked with an asterisk (*).
