Watching videos serves a diferent role than interactive b/c you get to take in audio and visual together, which _can_ support a higher bandwidth learning(depending on quality of the video). Also, for unfamiliar subjects, it’s useful to be exposed to the concepts and constructs first so you can build a mental scaffoliding that supports the details. Speech seems to be a better medium for that.
Interactive, like other info sources that present info linearly and in high detail are much less efficient, but allow you to learn the ‘doing’ aspect that a video would not.
But I am curious about what you’ve made. How has the reception for this type of info product been so far?
