I think MLton's FFI is great in this regard.  The _import expression is
dirt simple, which makes it perfect for sucking in C-stuff and packaging
it up in a type-safe structure.  Depending on what you want to do in the
course, you need never really expose students to the FFI stuff, just
provide the appropriate source.
