Examples of different teaching approaches:
- Text and interactive exercises (e.g. 'educative', 'codecademy')
- Video (e.g. Udemy, Pluralsight, YouTube, LinkedIn Learning)
- Video and interactive activities (e.g. Scrimba)
- Books (printed or ebook)
For me, I have found video is massively varied. Although instructors may be familiar with a subject, not all are good at teaching. The best instructors understand their subject but also explain their subject clearly. Also, overly long videos can make watching video a chore. But there are always exceptions (e.g. Harvard online CS50?)
What is your experience when taking a tech course? What do you prefer and why (e.g. video, text, quizzes, interactive, books etc)?

Pro and cons:
Examples 1 and 2: Readable but long URLs. They may also help SEO (search engine optimisation).
Example 2: The date in the URL provide helpful context.
Example 3: A short URL easily shared (but URL is not descriptive).
Which of these URL formats do you prefer? Or do you think they don't really matter?
Thank you :-)
