Are videos really the best tool for the job of educating coders?
Hello,
I've been hacking on a new tool for teaching JavaScript. The main idea is, instead of using videos or articles to explain concepts, I used just audio that's matched with an in-browser editor. I used time cues from the audio to programmatically change the content of the editor and execute code. After each session, a challenge with code assertions can be used to validate what was learned.
Here's a demo (using a basic React example): http://jscomplete.com/interactive-learning-demo/
I'd love to hear what you think of this idea and educational delivery format.
