Maybe you could have the students try writing a user's manual, that would clearly explain in simple English how to use the printer, including how to use the various programs required, like Pronterface, Slic3r and Skeinforge, set it up to use different materials and troubleshoot it - many of us would appreciate something like that. You might start with a critique of some of the existing documentation users are currently struggling with, which is written entirely in technobafflegab: http://reprap.org/wiki/Printrun http://manual.slic3r.org/ http://fabmetheus.crsndoo.com/wiki/index.php/Skeinforge
