Please note that I used NotebookLM to generate the Course Outline infographic above and then edited the image in Canva to fix several formatting and spelling mistakes. The prompt used to generate the infographic in NotebookLM was:
Create a visual infographic summary of my course outline. Use a ‘Roadmap’ layout that starts at the top with the Course Objectives and snakes down the page through the key weekly themes. Ensure the grading breakdown is displayed in a clear sidebar or pie-chart style graphic. Keep the tone academic but engaging. Add a block with the class date and time, and my email address to contact me.
