thanks for the extensive post and brainstorming ideas! I agree with you that most people learn different ways, and as others have stated, really learning by doing is high up on the list. I like your thoughts of interactivity, because ideally that's what the tutorials would be like - interactive media, but the thing is, like you say this is time consuming, and sadly, I don't have the time to commit that it would take. One thing I do like about video, at least for programmers, is that - if you're dual wielding with your monitors :), you can watch the code directly, have your own editor open and just code along, while you listen to the expert in his field explain some concepts that might be fuzzy for you. What I don't like though is reading blog post, because honestly all I ever end up doing is just reading the source code excerpts, and then (if its js, or some smaller lib), I just download the source and read it which renders the point of having a blog post basically null and void. Finally, your last idea "repurposing content" is great, it'll let me test the idea out :)
