Isn't that the same as asking is someone really learned something by just reading a book? Do you know how many programming language books I've read and can't program a lick in the language? Too many to count.
Learning is an active process no matter which medium is doing the delivery (book, video, in person, etc.) You need to work problems, do examples, prove things, and review to really learn something.
- Tichy 15y agoTrue, but watching videos can be done entirely in passive mode. It is also very clumsy to flick forward and backward to rewatch a fact you didn't catch the first time you watched it. Actually come to think of it, that might be really interesting data the Khan Academy is sitting on: how often people try to rewatch a part of the video. Could be an indicator if they are really learning, or pseudo learning. Or maybe it is only me who sometimes needs to rewatch parts.
