Since you'll be facilitating the group and able to answer questions, it will make dealing with any problems easier, I think. And it will be a great "handout" for them when they go home--all the videos, comments, discussion, etc. will be right online for them to refer to after you've finished. Plus you can add info later and keep the community going. I think it's a winner!
