I'm an admin on the wiki, so I usually ask people
who don't have an
account to provide an email address or to come early to the classroom
to get a username easily.
You just have to go to [[Special:Login]] while logged in. Then, you go
to register a new account and there you'll see a bos that lets you
send a new account via email.
At WMI last workshop we just logged in with a sysop account and then we
made everyone register their own account from there; the interface is
the same, there's just a "reason" field (added recently) and obviously
they'll have to login. Nobody had problems with it.
Otherwise, there's plenty of sysops and accountcreators who can do it
for you beforehand, or you can request such rights yourself (en.wiki has
a process fot it).

We ran into this several times in our U.S. pilot of
the Wikipedia
Education Program. The limit seems to be no more than 6 accounts can
be created in a 24-hour time period per IP address, but I've been
unsuccessful at finding any place where that's actually documented
on-wiki.
