Oppenness
Empowerment
- the students become teachers
Hands-on Learning Experience
Safe learning environment
- beginners questions are also difficult for coaches, because it often exposes what you take for granted
Transparency
- everything is public. Your material is put into the pool and can be reused by others elsewhere
- Google group is public, everyone can see what is being planned and participate
