The release of ChatGPT in 2023 accelerated the adoption of generative AI across higher education. In response, Google introduced Gemini, GemBots, and NotebookLM—tools now widely explored for research, teaching, and learning. While early skepticism has shifted toward experimentation, many educators and administrators still lack structured frameworks for responsible integration.

This workshop addresses that gap through exploration of Google’s AI suite. Grounded in the 3PA-IQ framework and the Human-AI-Human Cycle, participants will design prompts, develop GemBots, and create instructional products using NotebookLM. Emphasis is placed on preserving human judgment in AI-augmented environments.

The workshop focuses on Gemini, GemBots, and NotebookLM. Gemini is a powerful tool for administrative, teaching, and learning purposes. GemBots can accelerate the completion of routine tasks. NotebookLM offers a dynamic arena for creating teaching and learning products. Participants will leave with practical strategies for integrating generative AI across teaching, research, and administrative contexts while sustaining human agency.
