How a teacher at Kenridge Primary School uses XT to test students, reduce administrative pressure, and save time
Kenridge Primary School in the northern suburbs of Cape Town has been a customer with EvaluNet for almost 12 years. We decided to interview Jenny Goslett, the school IT teacher, about how she uses XT on a daily basis.

It’s time for all you Steri Stumpie fans out there to get really jealous. The South African legend dropped by at our offices yesterday with a whole lot of Steriphernalia including exclusive tshirts, stickers, badges, Mr Steri Stumpie Head Kits, passports to the Flavournation and of course … STERI STUMPIES!

Football Friday at EvaluNet
To tie in with the opening ceremony and opening match of the 2010 World Cup Soccer last Friday, we hosted our own little local tournament consisting of a foosball match, a World Cup Soccer trivia challenge and a “Catch the Steri” competition. There was a great vibe amongst all the companies in our office block [...]
‘Blow your vuvuzela’ Wednesday – now THERE’S the vibe!
Losing all sensation in the top lip was completely worth the fun we just had joining in with the rest of South Africa and playing our unofficial national instrument – the vuvuzela!

Building a simple web site VS. parallel parking
Did you know that building a clean, simple web site is more difficult than parallel parking? Yes, it’s true! At EvaluNet, we firmly believe that simplicity is the way to go. Teachers, schools and even children are fed up with complication and clutter. Too much choice can sometimes be a bad thing. We witnessed this first hand with some of our early products like e-SCHOOL. It was a great software product, but it could do too much so many people ended up not using it because they didn’t know where to begin. We finally cracked the code with our software products – Biblion, GetAhead and XT – and made them simple and easy to use. The real challenge was designing marketing material, and more specifically web sites, that reflected this simplicity.
Biblion – the dawn of affordable educational software
How do you make an already-successful software tool available to the masses at an affordable price? You simplify it by taking out some features, changing this and that, and you’ve got a brand new tool! This is exactly what we’ve done with Biblion – our latest and greatest curriculum revision software. Biblion is based on [...]
The CAT is out the bag
I have just returned from a rather lengthy and successful visit to Gauteng. The response to our CAT content in both our Biblion and XT products was overwhelming.
