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
