Some good comments previously on the Rietveld Users Mailing
list mentioned the idea that using a DBW derivative Rietveld
such as Rietica or Fullprof makes a good teaching program -
due to the requirement of the user having to know about
general and special positions as well as other crystallography
required for a good understanding of crystallographic
refinement.

Though it can be problematic trying to use any Rietveld program
without an understanding of the crystallographic 
fundamentals - no matter how good the Interface to the 
Rietveld program is.  Some of the web courses such as offered
by Jeremy Cockcroft at Birkbeck or Armel Le Bail et al at
LeMans may be worth considering if crystallographic courses
cannot be offered locally.
