I built something simpler than Bob's idea and have wanted to make something like what Bob suggests. However, I've simply not had time. I think it is a good idea.
As to Spartan Student, my impression from trying a demo they sent me is that other than the nice molecule building interface it is rather crippled. I've given up on the commercial software for teaching quantum. I uses GAMESS for the computation engine and then depending on what you want to do you can use wxMacMolPlt or Avogadro for building the molecules. For the most part I then have the students use Jmol to look at the results (although they can also use wxMacMolPlt). With some more tweaking, it might be possible to use the Jmol builder to generate input for GAMESS as well. An important point is that I get them to look at the raw output to find some numbers as well. This seems to give them a better sense of the kind of information the computations generate, than looking a pretty pictures.
