Experimenting with AI Tools for Academic Communication:
Podcast on NAAC’s New Accreditation System
As part of my ongoing engagement with AI tools for educational innovation, I recently explored a new workflow to create and publish a podcast-based explainer on the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC)’s proposed new accreditation system. This initiative aligns with the growing need to simplify complex policy documents and reforms for a wider academic audience.
To create the content, I used Google NotebookLM — a powerful AI-powered note-taking and summarization tool. By uploading relevant documents and reports about the proposed changes in NAAC's accreditation framework, I was able to prompt NotebookLM to generate a clear, structured podcast script. The tool’s capacity to synthesize technical information into coherent narrative form made it especially effective for this task.
Once the podcast script was finalized and recorded, I turned to Audiogram — an AI platform that converts audio content into engaging, captioned videos optimized for social media and video-sharing platforms. This step allowed me to create a visually enriched, accessible version of the podcast suitable for YouTube publication, complete with on-screen captions for better comprehension and outreach.
In this blog post, I am pleased to share the captioned video podcast, which provides an overview of NAAC’s proposed changes, potential implications for higher education institutions, and the broader context of accreditation reform in India.

This experiment highlights how AI tools can significantly streamline the process of content creation, curation, and dissemination — especially for educators and administrators navigating evolving academic landscapes.
I invite you to watch the video, share your feedback, and reflect on how such tools might be integrated into your own teaching, training, or institutional development efforts.
