   <description>Join us for an engaging online webinar featuring Dr. Sue McKenzie, Senior Associate
      Dean at SNHU Global Campus, and Anna Amici, Product Development Manager for Carolina
      Distance Learning. Together, they will share how the Carolina Online Gateway continues
      to evolve as an accessible, interactive platform built to support online science students
      through meaningful hands‑on lab experiences.
      During this session, Dr. McKenzie and Ms. Amici will highlight how the Gateway delivers
      an ADA‑compliant learning environment that integrates seamlessly with institutional
      Learning Management Systems through LTI 1.3, ensuring students can access their coursework
      with ease. They will also demonstrate the platform’s interactive learning tools, including
      knowledge check questions, overview videos, and the digital lab notebook that promotes
      engagement, enhances knowledge retention, and supports academic integrity.
      Attendees will also have the opportunity to be among the first to hear about the AI
      Laboratory Assistant, a new feature coming soon to Carolina Online Gateway. This innovative
      tool is designed to help guide students through their lab activities and further enrich
      their learning experience with the support of accessible AI technology.
