A good proportion of what I write is based on highlights and notes I have stored in Obsidian. Collaborative notetaking has always been a personal interest. There is a way to share Obsidian notes directly, but because this requires your content to actively use a server located off your own computer, it requires a subscription. I have no objection to supporting developers through subscriptions, but I have reached my personal limit on how many subscriptions I can handle. There are other ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a previous post<\/a>, I described Glasp, which is a site for highlighting and annotating with built-in AI. The AI is referred to within the service as an AI clone – implying that you can prompt your own documentation. There is also a \u201cfind others with similar interests\u201d feature that takes you to the notes of others willing to share, and you can prompt their content in a similar way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of my more popular posts explained how to export Obsidian content to NotebookLM. It turns out NotebookLM notebooks can be shared, so I decided I would share my content for anyone who wants to use it. I am an educational technologist, mostly now exploring note-taking, AI applications, and generative processes to improve retention and understanding. You may or may not be interested in these areas, but if you are a NotebookLM user you might just want to explore this sharing option. NotebookLM is a great tool for interacting with content using AI and perhaps even creating a podcast based on queries of this content. You cannot add to or edit someone else\u2019s content, which I wouldn\u2019t want, but a user is free to explore your shared content using the \u201cread only\u201d features of NotebookLM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fitting with my personal interests, the opportunities an educator might find for collecting specific references he\/she wants students to explore just seems like a useful application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A screen capture of the topic of an open Notebook appears below. The process of sharing this notebook is initiated from the share button at the top of the browser window. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Selecting the share button opens an overlay with multiple options. My intent is to offer public access to explore my notes. NotebookLM then returns a URL others can use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
