## Description
In this video, I show you exactly how to turn a static NotebookLM notebook into a fully interactive online course using Google Classroom.

While NotebookLM is powerful for organizing information and generating audio overviews, it lacks a native way to engage with students or clients. By pairing it with Google Classroom, you can create a private, interactive portal where users can discuss your source material, watch your AI-generated videos, and comment in real-time—all for free.

I will walk you through the entire setup process, from exporting your assets to creating a custom-branded classroom environment.
