Webinar | Making NotebookLM Work in Higher Ed

Provided by CDW | 2026 Mission Partner

This webinar is a part of the EDUCAUSE Industry Insights series.

As institutions explore generative AI, many are moving beyond experimentation toward practical application. This session brings together higher education leaders to share how they are implementing Gemini and NotebookLM to support teaching, research, and operational efficiency. Panelists will discuss the strategic drivers behind adoption, approaches to governance and rollout, and real examples of impact across campus.

The conversation will also address common challenges, including faculty adoption, data integrity, and change management. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how to translate early interest into sustained institutional value.

  • Identify strategic drivers and use cases for Gemini and NotebookLM across teaching, research, and institutional operations.
  • Evaluate approaches to governance, rollout, and change management that support responsible and effective AI adoption.
  • Apply lessons from peer institutions to move AI initiatives from early experimentation toward sustained institutional value.
