I understand that you don't want the new divers to loose their computers and in that sense an air integrated or console computer would be a good choice as it is probably harder to loose a big object (regulator with console) than a smaller object with all the gear that your new divers will need. If you are looking for an affirmation that this is ok, then go for it.
On the other hand I think it is easier to keep track of both pressure and computer info when the two are separate. I keep my pressure gauge clipped to my left chest D ring with my hp hose routed under my left armpit. I keep my computer and compass on my right arm and my slate on my left arm because I am right handed. To check my pressure I simply look down and to check my depth and ndl or decompression obligations I simply look at my right arm. Most of the computers with consoles or air integrated computers seem to be a little bit big and floppy to clip to my left chest D ring. Wireless would get around the floppy issue, but then you are back at the wrist versus console issue again. Just my two cents.
