Your AI Study Buddy – Master Learning with Perplexity & NotebookLM

As part of the Library’s AI Awareness Week, Mr Kelvin Wan (CTL) was invited as a guest speaker to conduct a hands-on workshop titled “Your AI Study Buddy – Master Learning with Perplexity & NotebookLM.”

The workshop introduced students to three Generative AI tools – In-house ChatGPT, Perplexity, and NotebookLM – highlighting how each supports different stages of the learning process. Through guided activities, participants learned how to:

  • Break down complex research questions using ChatGPT

  • Search for credible information and evaluate AI-generated responses using Perplexity

  • Build a personalised learning space with NotebookLM by exploring text, audio, and video sources

Students also experimented with changing output languages and applied Bloom’s Taxonomy to create AI-generated quiz questions that promote deeper learning and critical thinking.

The session concluded with a discussion on the responsible use of AI tools, reminding participants that AI is not a shortcut to learning, but a study partner that enhances understanding and creativity.

 

CTL thanks Ms Jenny Chan and the Library team for the successful collaboration in promoting AI literacy and responsible innovation in teaching and learning.
