Podcasts about oklahoma council

In this episode, I am using the Google Notebook LM podcast feature that Mr. Ralph Grayson shared at our Spring 2025 Faculty Institute in January. You will hear the music jump on when it is the AI voices as they discuss an OER pdf shared with the faculty by Ms. Caitlin Corbett, the Director of University Libraries at Langston University, and some resources that I added in as an instructional designer about Canvas Commons and Oklahoma Council of Online Learning Excellence resources. The AI processed the documents and created a conversation. They sound human, but they are not. They say "we" as though they are human beings who teach and work with us; they do not. In fact, they picked up on my LU Monday Moment podcast closing (Happy Teaching!) without knowing anything except my prompt. It took multiple prompts to get to this analysis; it is not a simple feed it information and go when it is for an audience. However - it feels amazing to listen to it! I did prompt it to clarify that it is AI and not human as a best practice. We have new music from our Adobe Stock Collection - this audio is called Free YourMind Loop and is AdobeStock 676139738 for attribution .
