It has a simple language that is understandable, if I use it as an example for my students. It has an interesting scenario that attracts and encourages students to learn. The tasks and process are clear. It has a simple design that it is easy to browse for my students. It addresses the IT skills that students should show and practice thru producing Brochure at the end.
