This post makes three points, two obvious, but one less so. The obvious points are that, first, Netflix is usually blocked in workplaces, so the question is moot, and second, people don't really learn a lot by simply watching video. They need to engage in quality practice for learning to take hold. I totally agree. But also, there's this less obvious point: Eran Adi Cioban "did not want to place his learners in front of a huge collection of learning possibilities so that they were dependent on an algorithm to make a selection. Instead, he wanted them 'to be active and inquiring when they choose what they should learn.'" This falls under the heading, I think, of 'learning how to learn'. It's a necessary part of all learning, and students are shortchanged if they don't get it (the earlier the better). Via Upside Learning. P.S., if you are wondering whether there's actually any learning content on Netflix: surprise, there's a lot!
