P.S. Apologies for the wrong link - of course, the "Teaching" page address is
http://www.gap-system.org/Doc/Teaching/teaching.html
and the link below refers to "Learning" page.

Dear Prof Borovik, dear GAP Forum,
Certainly, GAP has a great potential to be used in teaching abstract algebra.
The GAP homepage has "Teaching" and "Learning" sections, and while "Learning"
is more about learning the GAP system itself, the "Teaching" page
http://www.gap-system.org/Doc/Learning/learning.html
refers to material accompanying courses given at various places. As you can see
there, GAP has been used in lecture courses of various levels, both for
providing examples and for creating teaching materials, in particular,
generating sets of exercises. The selection of materials listed on this page is
probably incomplete, but hopefully it will help to create an adequate opinion
on the subject.
Hopefully more GAP Forum members having teaching materials not listed in the
"Teaching" and "Learning" sections will respond to your request in the Forum,
and thanks for those who has already replied. We will be happy to put relevant
links on the GAP website.
Please do not hesitate to contact the GAP Group if you will be interested in
further details about GAP.
Best regards,
Alexander
