Vula is an open online learning management system used by UCT to support its various courses, and was also the platform of choice to support the IBT. Vula accounts were created for each of the IBT 2017 participants through the help of the IBT core team at the UCT, and all course correspondence was done the Vula platform, including the submission of assignments, course announcements, tests and quizzes, discussion forums and chat, and lessons.
