WebCT Vista has been retired as of June 30, 2008.

LATTE is now Brandeis University's only online learning environment.
Log into LATTE here.


As of Summer 2008, all courses at Brandeis now use LATTE. If you are an instructor who previously used WebCT and have questions about your WebCT course content, please contact LATTE Help at (781) 736-5883 or latte@brandeis.edu.

For those getting started in LATTE, Library & Technology Services offers regular workshops and assistance at the Faculty Resource Center.
