I was meaning it in the context of online lectures, where you generally
cannot ask questions either.
BTW, I wasn't trying to make a general statement here. In my
experience, I'd say at least 2/3 of the people I've met learn better
aurally than "visually". They prefer lectures to reading.
I'm in the minority.
Certainly, as Darren pointed out, lectures can be good at times where
they walk you through the stuff (at the very least, it helps that the
lecturer can point at things physically). Also, animations can be helpful.
But overall, I learn better while reading. Maybe I just have a poor
aural attention span.
