WebCT is a web based course tool used as an additional source of information on the research methods module at the University of East London (UEL). A Q sort was conducted on 102 psychology students to assess their views about using WebCT. This resulted in one main factor and five small factors depicting the different approaches students have to using WebCT. A correlation between students' use of WebCT and marks on the research methods module led to a linear regression which revealed that students' overall marks increased by one for every 50 hits on WebCT. These results are discussed in relation to the way students approached the research methods module, their mode of attendance and the support they were given in using WebCT.
