This article talks about a library that were challenged to learn Web 2.0 technologies is a fun, prize-motivated way. I think this goal for any program where people are learning unfamiliar technologies are great (from the article refering to Helene Blowers "Learning 2.0" program):

"...her original goals for Learning 2.0 were touchy-feely "E's" -- exposing staff to new tools, encouraging play, empowering individuals, expanding the knowledge toolbox, eliminating fear -- the effects were both practical and financial."
