I love demo/workshop environments that provide a good conversation about what topic is being taught alongside watching it being live coded (think Frontend Masters/EggHead format). In addition to that conversation and live coding, I love that many instructors will also provide links to pertinent references/resources and/or well-written blog posts.

Basically, watch and talk about practical implements and read about concepts while relating it to those practical implements. For the more difficult to grasp concepts, I do think it is important to have that buffer lesson just to make sure that groundwork is there to build on.
