LearnWell CD

LearnWell, Learn to Think and Think to Learn, a comprehensive interactive multimedia study, thinking and life skills programme, was published in 2002 by EquipU4 (a business unit of Stellenbosch University). Thousands of Stellenbosch University students benefited from the programme between 2002 and 2006. Individual copies (CD’s) and network versions were sold both nationally and internationally. Three versions were produced and were freely available on the intranet of Stellenbosch University for her students. EquipU4’s web site can be found at www.equipu4.com and the business has been online since 2002.

LearnWell for Study Success DVD

LearnWell for Study Success, Learn to Learn Well, a live, interactive study skills workshop was produced in 2006. All 2006 first-year students at Stellenbosch University received a copy of the DVD. This product was also marketed outside the university.

LearnWell4Life DVD

The LearnWell4Life DVD (Boost Your Brain for Study Success) replaced the above-mentioned DVD in 2007. Afrikaans, English and isiXhosa versions were produced. All three versions are available on the intranet of Stellenbosch University (since 2007 until now) and on the personalised wellness web sites of students. Stellenbosch University students can access both the DVD and its accompanying workbook for free. Individual DVD’s as well as licenses for institutional intranets are sold. The majority of universities in South Africa, numerous high schools as well as hundreds of individuals have purchased copies or licenses from EquipU4.

Variety

Previous private projects included the design of a multimedia-rich website for the Centre for Student Counselling and Development at Stellenbosch University and a time management system for the staff of the Centre for Student Counselling and Development at Stellenbosch University (tracking time utilisation). One other project worth mentioning that was a forerunner for the current BeWell-project is the HelpMe website that was created in 2008. It contained multimedia rich content from world experts on 50+ topics arranged according to the six wellness dimensions. Students could consult it to get help and learn more about how to realize their potential. It is currently being modified to be included in version 2 of the BeWell personalised wellness websites of mentors and mentees.
