I'm a touch sceptical here - while I appreciate a noobs perspective whenever I'm starting something new, I prefer to see something that encourages best practice - a mix of experience through the eyes of a noob would be better in my opinion.
Agreed. But note that it's not all "noobs" helping "noobs"... there's someone who knows chiming in with directional support along the way. That's a big difference.
Coursera tries "peer learning"... commonly referred to in the forums as "the blind leading the blind."
At Thinkful we definitely see a benefits from both peers and experts...
