It seems that the UI has changed a bit since this quest was created, but the idea of inviting students to a Cloud Party location is indeed intriguing. An immediate thought would be an office hours situation, where students were invited (hopefully a Google+ option will appear on the cell phone) to discuss classroom topics from the comfort of their homes, while still improving knowledge bases in the subject at hand. Possibly a manipulative blackboard could be set up in the classroom build available, where students would inspect study guides or homeworks completed, along with the teacher available to answer/comment. Even more, students often find themselves in a bind with extra-curricular activities and jobs (of even baby-sitting) to be able to attend an immediately-after school office hours session. This would allieviate that dillemma.
Personally, I love the idea of setting up a group session as office hours in CP. I've so often struggled with students being unable to attend, or on occasion having too many attend and not being able to truly help individuals. Having a pre-arranged 'blackboard' available to view with necessary information, worked-out problems and the such, along with a chat function to communicate with the teacher sounds ideal. Multi-tasking for the teacher would be far easier, and the students could avail themselves appropriately and much more easily. Without question, this is a serious consideration for me.
