Would NotebookLM be able to do the same? I mean, if you upload textbooks and a syllabus, will it aid in studying in the same Socratic Questioning style?

NotebookLM is tremendously useful for learning, but it's not tuned specifically for the socratic questioning approach. You can certainly ask it to provide helpful learning questions, and you can benefit from its audio and video overviews, mind maps, timelines, FAQs, and summaries. But it's not designed to guide you step by step through a learning dialogue in the way that these learning modes are.

Thanks!

I wonder if it'd be useful to do a comparison between NotebookLM and Study Mode, in as far as learning/studying goes...

Great article! I am a course creator. I’d love to create an AI tutor trained on my own course materials that students could use in study mode. Any idea how I could create this (and protect my IP)?

There are various ways to create something like this, Gail. One way is to create a Custom GPT trained on your materials and given detailed instructions about how to engage with students who use it. You can also pick from a variety of new AI platforms tools marketed to educators as being designed specifically for supporting your students while preserving your intellectual property.

This is wonderful, so well structured, and I am going to use GPT to delve into a subject (fascia) that I have been wanting to learn more about. Thank you.
