Auto Creation of Video Content

Posted on by

NotebookLM from Google allows educators to design dynamic video experiences from self-selected content. Educators choose materials, load them to NotebookLM, and then create a video overview. The resulting video is similar to a slide deck with a human-like narrator. Here’s a sample video created by the Assistive Technology Specialist specific to accessible educational materials titled Unlocking Learning: AIM in VA. Once a video is created, educators can download the file to edit in a video editor (such as WeVideo) or share directly with learners if no edits are necessary.

Screenshot of the NotebookLM interface titled “AIM VA Navigator.” The screen is divided into three panels. On the left is the “Sources” panel listing seven selected documents, including AIM Considerations, Accessibility to Digital Texts and Beyond in LCPS, Digital Rights Manager, Eligibility Requirements, Home, IEP Documentation, and LCPS AIM VA Guidance Document. The center “Chat” panel displays a summary explaining Accessible Instructional Materials in Virginia, outlining eligibility requirements, roles of school personnel, and technologies for providing AIM. At the bottom of this panel are buttons for saving notes, adding notes, generating an audio overview, and creating a mind map. On the right is the “Studio” panel showing a video overview titled “Unlocking Learning AIM in VA” with a still image slide. The slide has a blue box with the title “Accessible Materials AIM” and the text “Print based educational materials converted into specialized formats to meet student needs,” alongside a magnifying glass graphic. A video playback bar at the bottom indicates the video is 5 minutes long with 1 minute and 12 seconds played.
