To evaluate NotebookLM's educational and venture potential, I tested three core features using Living with Treaties (Smith, 2015) and the Alberta Social Studies 10-1 Program of Studies (Alberta Education, 2007). The evaluation considered factors relevant to educational adoption, including learning value, implementation feasibility, scalability, educational utility, and potential limitations.

Rather than assessing whether the platform could simply generate multimodal content, I was interested in how it supported learning, inquiry, and knowledge construction.
