Select the tool for Carolina. It should be called "Carolina Science Online" or something similar. If you cannot find the tool, contact your LMS admin.

Select the Lab Manual you wish to add.  Any Virtual and Dry labs will be found in the “Virtual and dry lab library”. The lab safety and Intro to graphing labs are found under “ Introductory materials”.

Enter a title in the "Title" field. Note the title of the Lab Manual will be added to the end of whatever title you give the lab.

Enter a Description in the "Description" field. These will show up to students as instructions when they open their lab.  It is recommended you include information on how you want students to submit their lab notebook and how it will be graded. 

You can select whether you would like the lab to create a column in the gradebook:

a. This column is a manual entry and will accept a score entered into it from the Gateway or Carolina Science Online teacher portal. This score can be used as the lab notebook score if you would like to grade within the Gateway Instructor portal, or as the pre-lab score if you would like to grade the PDF of the lab notebook within Canvas. The pre-lab score will be 100% for all students who complete it. In either case, the grade will need to be entered by the instructor. No grade will be auto-generated. If this case, you must select a number of points.

b. Please note, if you want to grade the PDF of the lab notebook in Canvas instead, you will need to set up a separate assignment that can accept file submissions.

c. If you do not wish for this assignment to create a column in the gradebook (only assigning a grade for the PDF lab notebook), check the box to not include in the gradebook.

Click on the symbol below to publish the assignment and make it visible to students.

An instructor can also access the student version of Gateway with this link when "viewing as a student" in Canvas. However, in the regular Instructor view they will link to a teacher dashboard instead.
