Watch the chapters Run it with a groupLearnWell, Learn to Think and Think to Learn was a comprehensive interactive multimedia study, thinking and life skills programme published in 2002 by EquipU4, then a business unit of Stellenbosch University and wound up more than a decade ago. Three versions were produced; thousands of students used it between 2002 and 2006, and copies sold nationally and internationally. LearnWell for Study Success followed on DVD in 2006, given to every Stellenbosch first-year that year. LearnWell4Life — Boost Your Brain for Study Success replaced it in 2007 in Afrikaans, English and isiXhosa; the majority of South African universities, numerous high schools and hundreds of individuals bought copies or licences, and it was presented at the World Conference on E-Learning in Vienna in 2008. The video looks its age. The principles do not.
