from technical point of view, we are now using HTML pages (which can be
tutorials as well, not only manual pages), wiki and then all other things.
If we want to allow for an internationalization, that's yet another
question.

For the sources I'm involved in, you can have a look at:

http://geospatial.ncsu.edu/osgeorel/courses.html

in particular:

http://courses.ncsu.edu/gis582/common/grass/
http://ncsu-osgeorel.github.io/erosion-modeling-tutorial/grassgis.html
http://ncsu-osgeorel.github.io/grass-temporal-workshop/
http://ncsu-osgeorel.github.io/uav-lidar-analytics-course/assignments/lidar.html
http://ncsu-osgeorel.github.io/uav-lidar-analytics-course/assignments/water_flow.html
http://ncsu-osgeorel.github.io/grass-intro-workshop/
http://www4.ncsu.edu/~akratoc/GRASS_intro/

Ideally, the things should be in the OSGeo Educational Content Inventory
and we should be adding the stable or valuable things there as we are
collecting them.
