e) List one interesting fact or issue that this site addresses.
The largest issue this site addresses is not very responsive to user's action, especially the redirecting problem. For example, when i have clicked the courses i wanted and obtained the materials i needed, and i wish to access to my other courses, the home button didn't work. When i clicked it, it just redirect me to the same page but won't take me back to the main selection page. I need to logout and relogin in order to access to my other courses.

Yes, although it might has some annoying problem, but still it is useful for students to get the information from what the lecturers shared.
g) How could this site be improve?
First, the design of the website should be more interesting. The interface should be properly designed to allow easier access by the users. Graphical icon should be insert for easier navigation. The redirection problem also need to be fixed so that users won't need to logout and login back. Furthermore, it is encouraged that this website could design to allow communications between lecturers and students.
