Web CT is a Web-based software programme that was originally developed in Columbia by Murray Goldberg in 1995.It was first integrated into the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) in 2000.

According to Antoinette van Deventer E- learning responsible in an interview set in 2010, as part of a  Media Studies research  topic,the main reason behind WebCT was about getting extra tools, trying something new and being in phase with new technological development.

The adoption of this new product (WebCT) was something that incommensurably revolutionnised the condition of academic learning. Not all African Countries have actually made use of that innovative technology yet. South Africa is therefore in line with the different tools used worldwide and can actually compete with the other higher institution of education.

The first version adopted by CPUT was WebCT4.This later, comprises of the basics of e learning element intended for assisting educators to deal with courses and the different work conducted online in a more effective manner.

The use of WebCT undeniably helped a lot in reaching a certain improvement in terms of study mentoring. For instance, this new system improved the learning programme by monitoring student’s progress and also by making course material and evaluations accessible for the facilitation of both students and lecturers.

Planning a good weekend !

Weekends are short in the greater scheme of things. This is a plain fact - 2 days or even less for some - out of a 7 day week means they don't provide a lot of time for refreshing, relaxing and fitting in the 101 things you have to do. In order to make your weekend seem longer, you'll need to plan it better and get the chores in order. Here are some ideas.

Wake up at your usual time. The biggest mistake is to assume that the weekend is great for a sleep-in. When you do this, you not only get your body out of sync, you have just kissed goodbye to precious time that can be put to better use.

Do the chores first. Nobody wants to do the chores and very few people get a thrill out of cleaning, washing the clothes, and vacuuming. But it has to be done. So the earlier you do it on the weekend, the better.

Get the grocery shopping out of the way too. If you can, try to grocery shop one week night. That is one less thing to worry about then

Set aside time to do bill payments and other regular chores. Instead of having paperwork hanging over you like a dark cloud all weekend, set aside a specific time when you will sit down and deal with this.

Now relax!!!
