Thanks a lot for the input! Project based learning has always worked best for me too, so I'm considering to run it as a "make x in 5 days" course. Using the Twitter API might be a good idea. Then they'll understand how to communicate with other services, which is critical. But it might be a bit too difficult for a complete beginner?

Perhaps the final 3 days can be project based, and then use the first two to cover some basics.

Sounds like a plan :) What would be the best way to qualitatively enhance learning during those first couple of days? One on one tutorship? The only reason why that isn't the default way of teaching is probably because it is too expensive, right?

One to one tutorship would be great, but we wont have enough teachers for that. Too expensive yes. I'm thinking lectures and tasks, and preferably more of the latter and less of the former :)

Are you interested in other js/node devs to help out with this? If so I might consider coming late August, certainly would ask around here as well.

Sure, drop me a mail at perhborgen@gmail.com!
