Yenza!
"Yenza" – which means "do it" in isiXhosa and isiZulu – is a guide to using the
Internet for research and teaching in the social sciences and humanities. Offers
practical ‘how to’ information and links to useful resources on using the Internet
for research, integrating the Internet into teaching, and how to build your own
website. The information on this site should help both the novice researcher and
the more experienced researcher to find and develop on-line resources. The site
can be used independently by researchers, although it was primarily developed to
complement face-to-face workshops. The section, Yenza! For trainers, contains
resources for people wanting to run workshops using the site, and the entire
Yenza! site can be downloaded in compressed form for running offline.
