I do this all the time. I send them to find reusable stuff on AdaPower (some
of it my contributios, which I for this very purpose post on AdaPower and
not on our local site). I also tell them about interesting comp.lang.ada
threads.

Those that have genuine interests in learning, try to use these resources.
Alas, they are always the minority.

Some recent threads here started by my students. One was the "Visual Ada"
thread. What's interesting is that the semester just ended, so the student
is asking about an Ada IDE after the course ended. Does this mean he likes
to use Ada for other things? I don't know.
