Many, if not all, faculty invest significant time and effort in providing students with meaningful pedagogical touchpoints in online courses. This collaborative project introduces faculty-instructional technologist efforts in repurposing existing text-based lecture notes into audio podcasts as an alternative student-content touchpoint. Guided by the faculty member’s pedagogical beliefs, needs, and goals, the project highlights faculty preferences and collaboration timeline, iterative evaluation over time, and navigating affordances of an AI tool; NotebookLM, when converting/integrating audio podcasts into a graduate level online course delivered through the Canvas learning management system.
