>>> Interactivity is important in a training setting because you're learning along with others. That initial path you create in your brain is dotted with waypoints that everyone in class travels together. This is powerful when learning because more likely than not, you will be able to pull each other way from common pitfalls and also connect concepts that you know about already. This is true for some, not for others. Once again, probably at least correlating with the extrovert-introvert axis. Agree that the "lecture" format isn't great, though. For me, books, some space to work through/try the stuff at my own pace, and ideally an expert I can discuss stuff with 1:1 if I'm really stuck. Don't worry, I'll consult the FAQ first -- so long as one exists.
