Good to know
Moodle versions differ in what they accept. Import a few questions first, and check answers and feedback before using them for assessment.
The extension creates files on your computer. It does not sign in to Moodle, and nothing is sent to Moodle until you import the file yourself.
Free or Pro?
Free, with no daily export quota and no website account needed. Pro covers the extension only; it does not include a Google subscription or raise NotebookLM's own limits. Current prices are on the pricing page.
Frequently asked questions
Does NotebookLM have a built-in Moodle integration?
No. Gemini Notebook has no built-in connection to Moodle. The working route is a file: export from NotebookLM in a format Moodle reads (Moodle GIFT, Moodle XML, Aiken), then import or open it there.
Which format should I choose for Moodle?
GIFT is the usual choice and is easy to edit by hand. Use Moodle XML if GIFT drops something you need. See GIFT vs Moodle XML.
Does my content pass through a server on its way to Moodle?
No. Files are converted in your browser and saved to your downloads folder. You move them into the other app yourself.
