Absolutely. I've been thinking about this a fair amount lately as I would like to use sage in teaching undergrads (mostly multivariable calc, ODEs, and linear algebra). At first I was thinking of them installing it on their laptops, but most of them use Windows. Having a notebook server for a class is actually much better, since they can pick up where they left off in lab seamlessly. It would be nice if there was a way to hide worksheets - i.e. I can foresee not wanting to have people be able to easily copy code from anyone else in the class. A crude solution is to have a seperate notebook for each student, but there must be a better way.
