Tip Sheet

  WebWhacker is a programme that
  1. enables a user to
    • download a complete web page, folder or site to use offline on a computer or computer network; and
    • browse web material offline;
  2. saves you
    • time because you do not have to wait for slow download times as you browse a web site during class time; and
    • money as you can browse the web site repeatedly without having to go online, once the site has been downloaded.
This is one way of downloading a series of web pages, using WebWhacker. 

Note: If you want to save just one page off the web, use the Save As function in your web browser. In examples given in these tip sheets, you will download the Internet Bio-Ed project at the University of the Western Cape, called http://www.botany.uwc.ac.za/sci_ed/teacher/.
