Okay more than one: - A nice set of short videos to walk you through using these tools to learn/introduce/explain the concepts - A tool to let you try to solve a problem and give you feedback as to whether you got it right or wrong - Hints when you don't get the answer - Social Network tools so a group of people can "learn together" and support "collaboritve floundering" (as mentioned by Mark Guzdial here<https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?shva=1#inbox/1392a45cbc33615f> ) The above might make good GSoC projects, sort of a Udacity using the excellent tools to learn with in Sugar.
