Default [IBC] Odd distinctions

snip
People learn by doing and by doing, repetitiously - augmented by (not
substituted with!) theory instruction.

This is not entirely true. There are many different learning styles. Some
actually learn better by observing first then doing the activity. Others
can jump right in and learn by doing. Not everyone is wired the same way
(pardon the pun).

Those of us who are in teaching professions know that both the teacher and
then student have responsibilities in the learning process. The teacher
must attempt to adjust the lesson to the learning style of the student. The
student has the responsibility of actually doing the work of learning.

If IBC is a place of both teaching and learning, then it is a good idea to
offer teaching that speaks to a variety of learning styles.
