Ask HN: Online courses with video, text, quizzes or a mixture - which is best?

1 pointsby design-of-homesover 2 years ago
What type of instruction works best for you when learning a tech-related course? Or do you combine different course teaching approaches?<p>Examples of different teaching approaches:<p>- Text and interactive exercises (e.g. &#x27;educative&#x27;, &#x27;codecademy&#x27;)<p>- Video (e.g. Udemy, Pluralsight, YouTube, LinkedIn Learning)<p>- Video and interactive activities (e.g. Scrimba)<p>- Books (printed or ebook)<p>For me, I have found video is massively varied. Some instrutors know the expertise of the subject but are not good at teaching. The best instructors have a good understanding of their subject but also engaging and excellent at explaining their subject. Also, overly long videos can make watching video a chore. But there are always exceptions (e.g. Hardvard online CS50?)<p>What is your experience when taking a tech course (video, text, quizzes, interactive, books etc)? What do you prefer and why?
