Perhaps the AES CD "Perceptual Audio Coders: What to Listen For" would be useful. Then there is always the paper "Perceptual Coding of Digital Audio" by Painter and Spanias. You haven't mentioned the background of the students yet, tough - is there any information theory in their curriculum? The benefits of perceptual coding are hard to explain without pointing the difference between lossy and lossless coding (and why the former is so much more efficient).
