Beginning with the Fall 2024 semester, Brandeis will move from LATTE to Moodle 4. Please visit our Moodle 4 documentation. LATTE courses will be available through Fall 2024.
The design of any course shell is based on how the instructor wants to set it up.
There are lots of things to consider like topics, adding images and files to topics, Echo 360, and the Shell Banner.
All of these elements can be included in your course build before the term begins.
LATTE offers several course formats. Some are more accessible than others. Formats can be changed in the Administration block by selecting "Edit Settings" and opening the "Course format" menu option.
Collapsible Topics
Collapsible Topics is the most accessible course format offered in LATTE.
Topics display all the sections in a collapsible list by default
To show one section per page, change the format under the "course layout" setting
Topics
Topics is another course format offered in LATTE.
Everything that is loaded into the Topic will appear once this mode is selected.
To show one topic, it is helpful to make sure that all other topics are closed
Weekly Format
The weekly format is the last course format offered in LATTE.
In this format, instructors can load all materials that are needed for the course week.
This format looks almost like the topics format.
