Adaptive Technologies for Learning everything and anything!

Want a simple system to learn anything — for exams, work training, or personal interest — without drowning in notes or losing your place?

This hands-on online workshop shows you how to combine ivvi, NotebookLM, and ChatGPT to turn messy information into clear summaries, flashcards, revision plans, and step-by-step explanations. It’s designed with dyslexic learners in mind (clarity, structure, reduced cognitive load), but it works brilliantly for anyone who wants a better way to learn.

You’ll leave with a practical “learning pipeline” you can reuse again and again:
Capture → Organise → Understand → Revise → Perform

What you’ll learn

1) Capture information quickly (without typing everything)

• Speech-to-text for fast drafting and note capture
• Text-to-speech for proofing and comprehension
• OCR to convert photos/PDFs into editable, accessible text

2) Turn notes into knowledge with ivvi

• Clean, structured note formats that reduce overwhelm
• Linking ideas, summarising, and building revision-friendly pages
• A repeatable method for lectures, meetings, manuals, and textbooks

3) Study smarter with NotebookLM

• Feed in your sources and generate: summaries, topic breakdowns, glossaries, and practice questions
• Build a “study pack” from your own documents
• Quickly locate key points and evidence when writing assignments

4) Use ChatGPT as a learning coach (the right way)

• Get explanations at your level (no jargon, or as technical as you want)
• Create quizzes, flashcards, and memory hooks
• Turn a syllabus/job spec into a realistic learning plan
• Learn how to prompt safely and accurately (and how to fact-check)

5) Stay on track (even with low motivation)

• Simple Kanban board setup for planning, deadlines, and revision
• Time-boxing and “next-action” task design (so you actually start)

Hands-on activities (you will actually do these)

• Voice-type a rough set of notes and clean them up
• OCR a page from a handout/article and make it accessible
• Build a quick learning pack in NotebookLM (summary + questions)
• Use ChatGPT to generate a revision plan and mini-mock test
• Set up a personal Kanban board for your next goal

Who this is for

• Students (school/college/university), apprentices, adult learners
• Professionals needing to learn systems, policies, or new skills at work
• Anyone who struggles with focus, organisation, reading load, or note-taking
• Especially helpful for dyslexia, ADHD-style overwhelm, and busy brains — but open to everyone
