Although TiddlyWiki *can* be used in a server-based environment, it was primarily designed for single-user use. Instead of viewing Tiddlywiki as a "shared workspace" on a central server, think of them as a individual documents, much like Word or Excel files, where each individual has a copy of the materials to work with on their own computer. You could distribute separate 'workbook' TW documents to each student incorporating a combination of instructional content, links to external references, and exercises/assignments to be completed for each course of study (or perhaps just a section of a course). Then, as they complete the assignments, have them submit their revised documents back to you for evaluation and feedback (which you can enter directly into their documents before sending them back to them for further work). Of course, you can also have separate 'teacher's edition' versions of the various documents, complete with lecture notes, answer keys, etc. You could even create a document that functions as a kind of "grade book"... in which you can record the individual progress using separate tiddlers for each student.
