I agree with you, while they are far from the optimal to consume something there is always some need for alternative ways of learning, if only to address the variety of people who would like to learn. I find that I retain content better when I learn it in multiple ways (explore using MOOCs and podcasts about it, go deeper into it using books and practical work if applicable) and I'm sure it's the same for most people.
- mindcrime 10y agoYeah, same here. I'm doing the Johns Hopkins Data Science classes on Coursera, as well as the Duke "Statistics with R" series, but I've been supplementing that with both dead-tree books (R in Action among others) and other videos (like the Professor Leonard ones on Youtube), reading Wikipedia articles, etc., etc. Gaining a good understanding definitely involves attacking the problem from multiple angles in my approach. :-)
