Static - easier to dip into and do at my own pace. Though ideally a video overview then a text based tutorial is best I suppose for complicated stuff, so both

Depends on what you're teaching.

Learning from observing others is without discrimination.

Offering the opportunity to observe is less discriminating, learning has nothing to do with discrimination. If I was mandated to teach I'd use video, if appropriate, yes, but by choice I prefer to learn from text and still images.

John - I believe you have taken me out of context..
But this is not the place for a debate.

Text and graphics are best in my opinion. Video overviews are very nice but not easy to review specific step by step information.

I didn't vote because I like to have BOTH. I like watching the videos to see how something is done. But I also like the static tutorials when I am actually doing it.

I like both too. But I think that videos should be big clear, and mouse movements should be slow and easy to follow.
