Just to share some thoughts:

I was managing operating system lab in a university in Indonesia. At
that time, I decided to take "experiment approach". For example, to
understand about scheduling priority effect, I told them to run
scripts that basically write to single file in alternating fashion. By
changing priorities in between, the order will get vary from time to
time.

I took this approach so that the students get the general
understanding on how OS works (particularly Linux and Windows), while
not getting too deep. For now, I decided not to do module programming,
since the students are not fluent in C (they are more adept to Visual
Basic and Java).
