The course was originally based on a Cape Technikon prototype which was workshopped with librarians and academic support specialists at the University of Cape Town, the then Peninsula Technikon, the University of the Western Cape, the then Cape Technikon and the University of Stellenbosch. These were the member institutions of the Cape Higher Education Consortium (CHEC). The version for the Cape Higher Education Consortium was developed in 2001 by Janine Lockhart and Adriaan Coetzee of the Cape Technikon. It sets out to teach the most commonly needed information concepts in higher education learning at all levels but it emphasises the skills needed for first-time, entry-level, study.
