Reading. In college I discovered that I just don't have the brain wired to absorb knowledge from someone talking. This is not just about videos but also about teachers in front of a class. When there is difficult stuff that really requires deep meditation to understand, I'd rather have deadlines to learn something (an exam, e.g.) and be given the proper written material to learn it. It needs to be of good quality however -- not just bare powerpoint slides with a couple of unexplained equations. On the other hand, integrating highly interactive visualizations is, in my opinion, a key aspect of learning, and that's where video should be used most. Developing intuition behind equations/code is what triggers connections and understanding.
