Instead of lecture based courses, I’d like to see more an adaptable textbook style, where a learner creates their own path of learning. A simple example is a user manual online, http://support.casio.com/global/en/wat/manual/5411_en/ http://support.casio.com/global/en/wat/manual/5411_en/ . The topic of each section is clearly indicated and when parts of another section are mentioned a direct link is given. In this way the information is presented as the reader wants it. The book Code Complete: A Practical Handbook of Software Construction, provides a brief description at the start of book of what a chapter contains and suggests reading orders based on what the reader is looking for. These are examples of the reader choosing order. Examples of relevant questions is in Maths textbook Mathematical Techniques: An Introduction for the Engineering, Physical, and Mathematical Sciences 4th Edition , where sections contained check your understanding boxes. In these boxes a problem relaying on the information in the section was given followed by a full worked out solution. The sections ended with more problems related to the immediate section followed by questions that involved knowledge from pervious chapters. In the way same code examples could be presented and at the end of chapters a build your own program challenge.
