AI Generated Podcast on NAAC

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.

Exploring AI-Generated Content: A Video on "Mastering the Hybrid Class"

In my recent exploration of AI tools for educational content creation, I experimented with INVIDEO AI to see how a single prompt could be transformed into a meaningful teaching resource. I provided a simple prompt focusing on a teacher in a hybrid class, and within an hour, the platform generated a complete short video — including a transcript, visuals, and voiceover.

In this blog post, I’m sharing the AI-generated video titled “Mastering the Hybrid Class” along with the accompanying transcript. This experiment illustrates how generative AI can assist educators in designing quick, engaging, and visually rich learning materials with minimal input. Whether you're teaching online, offline, or in a hybrid mode, tools like this can offer exciting new ways to communicate ideas effectively.

(00:00) Hey everyone. Are you a professor navigating the hybrid teaching landscape? Well, I've got some tips to help you ace it. First things first, let's talk about engagement. Whether your students are in the classroom or tuning in from home, they all deserve your attention. Start by addressing everyone.

(00:18) Good morning, everyone, both in class and online. This instantly bridges the gap. Next, leverage technology. Use tools like Zoom or Microsoft Teams for seamless interaction. Make sure you can see your online students just as clearly as those in the classroom. This makes it easier to pick up on cues and ensure everyone's following along.

(00:38) Now, when it comes to questions, encourage both sets of students to participate. You can say something like, "Feel free to raise your hand or type your question in the chat." This way, everyone feels equally involved. Don't forget to repeat questions from the classroom for your online audience. It's a simple gesture that keeps everyone on the same page.

(00:58) And of course, give credit where it's due. Great question from Sarah in the chat. Visual aids are your best friend. Use slides, whiteboards, or even share your screen. This keeps your content engaging and accessible. And remember, pace yourself. Take regular pauses to ensure everyone's keeping up.

(01:16) Lastly, be flexible and patient. Technology can be tricky, so have a backup plan. And always, always stay positive. Your enthusiasm is contagious and it goes a long way in keeping your students motivated. There you have it. With these tips, you're well on your way to mastering hybrid teaching. Got any tips of your own? Share them in the comments below.

(01:37) Thanks for watching and happy teaching.
