For students who already know the basic editing commands, the creation
of a tags file and how to make use of it comes to mind.

I'd also make sure they know how to search for vim plugins and
information on the vim wiki. The use of vim plugins would IMHO require
a basic understanding of the layout of the vimfiles directory. So one
task could be to install a plugin and to customize a certain option by
setting a variable in vimrc or in after/plugin/whatever.vim --
depending on what is appropriate.
