There was a similarly themed training course almost two years ago run
by Andy Allan, author of the OpenCycleMap layer. Please see the
notes he wrote up about it in his blog entry:
http://blog.gravitystorm.co.uk/2012/03/01/make-the-hard-things-simple-and-the-simple-things-occasionally-surprisingly-hard/
It, and the associated blog posts, make for enlightening reading
before beginning a similar endeavor, even though OSM tools mentioned
may not be exactly the same.

I'm working with a Chicago organization called CUTGroup [0] to set up a user
testing event for the OpenStreetMap website and the iD editor. The goal of
this testing is to get feedback on the experience of navigating, signing up,
and editing data from users that are new to OpenStreetMap. At the end of the
day we'll generate a list of observations and actions that the OSM community
can take to improve the new user experience.
The event is scheduled to take place here in Chicago on January 22nd. If
you're around and would like to attend, please let me know.
I am also interested in getting from this list some questions or topics we
should be sure to cover. Is there some hypothesis you've had about how new
users use the site that you'd like to have tested? Is there some piece of
the site that feels too technical or too "newbie friendly"?
Thanks,
Ian
