LabVIEW will run in Windows/Mac/Linux, but to deploy a real-time project to the cRIO will require Windows.

For example, I would not mind volunteering to teach a class like this myself say at the Indiana Forums in Kokomo. I could think of several other people like Alan Anderson, Alex from 1024, Josh Hambright and even our own student programmer Nathan House. However, we would need to get our hands on it and learn it first before we could teach others in our own area.
One thing to keep in mind is that you don't need the cRIO to learn LabVIEW. Students can start by writing the standard "Hello World!" program and work their way up to VIs performing useful tasks all on their PCs. You can write software emulators for sensor inputs or read in saved data if you want to build and test VIs related to robot control.
