A sleek modern laptop with a thin silver chassis and high-resolution screen displays a clean digital lesson dashboard filled with colorful charts, icons, and a video player. The laptop rests on a light oak desk beside a neatly stacked set of textbooks, a digital stylus, and wireless headphones. In the background, a large wall-mounted monitor shows an expanded version of the lesson interface, softly out of focus.
