As well as the things other people have mentioned, I strongly suggest you
dedicate a whole section to having a step-by-step guide to getting a
decent assembler/C toolchain set up.

Also, when doing the tutorials, choose a common part and stick to it
throughout. It will make things far more straightforward for the learner.

Nice to see someone helping out the beginners. I was in the same boat as
you when I first used a dsPIC, and to be honest I've barely scratched the
surface with these parts so far; I'm sure to take a read of any tutorial
you write. Keep us posted!
