Your Learning Material, Upgraded — One Document → Five Learning Tools
Meet Google's Learn Your Way
Introducing an AI tool that can turn one dry textbook chapter or student handout into a mind map, narrated slides, an audio mini‑lesson, immersive text with checks, and a quick quiz - while I make tea.
Meet Google’s Learn Your Way: the over‑eager intern that personalizes a chapter to student level + interest, then spins out multiple views you can assign or edit in minutes.

Why this matters
One document → five assets you can actually assign.
Students pick an interest (football, fashion, food), and the explainer adapts.
Evidence beats vibes: higher understanding now, better recall later, happier students.

The five views
🧠 Mind Map • 🗂️ Narrated Slides • 🎙️ Audio (teacher–student) • ✍️ Text with inline checks • ✅ Short Quiz
Your textbook (or learning material), augmented (not replaced)
This is not a replacement for your prescribed texts. It’s a personalisation layer that keeps your syllabus‑aligned content as the source of truth, then multiplies it into formats students actually use.
Why this is the future of textbooks (3 reasons):
Personalisation on top of authority — we keep vetted chapters; students get versions they can actually digest.
Multi‑view by default — text, audio, slides, schema, assessment; one input becomes a reusable kit.
Teacher‑in‑the‑loop — you remain the editor for accuracy, tone, and policy.
Bottom line
I’m not trying to work harder. I’m trying to work lazier—but smarter. Google’s Learn Your Way turns a static documents into five personalised teaching tools while I make tea. Read more: Towards an AI-Augmented Textbook
