I enjoyed the Tanga puzzles, and I think something like that could be a very useful refresh and review tool.

two things suggest themselves:

1) the importance of community.
I think of classes I had at university - some were crap, because nobody participated and everyone felt isolated - and some were wonderful, because a group dynamic emerged and the learning opportunities snowballed the more we were able to interact.

how do you make that happen in a guided manner, so people aren't distracted by trivia and end up wasting "classtime"?

2) having an artifact of some kind as a result.
some of the nicest things ze has done have involved the digital equivalent of "take home prizes" - e.g. if you use the scribbler, you can save your picture to your computer, and it's yours forever. I think this has a broader appeal than something purely abstract or points-based.
