One option might be the "last" command for this though I'm not sure how reliable it is. I found previously that the thin client users were not getting registered in wtmp (the database of logins which last reads), but at some point that got fixed I think. > 2.

If you have basic shell scripting knowledge you could write the users to a CSV file and use a shell script around adduser to do the rest. I can possibly help out with this if needed. Maybe someone else has one already? I think webmin might facilitate loading a bundle of users in from a file, but you'd have to install it. As far as I know, the edubuntu tools don't (yet) have a simple way to do this.
