This is, indeed, a key point. However, your categories deal far more with
what material needs to be taught, than with how to teach it. Therefore, let
me suggest an orthogonal set of categories.

To begin with, there are those of us who prefer to learn from reference
materials, and, in those cases where the materials are unclear, from
explanations, or example code, which we find on the web.

Others learn better with the structure provided by self-study courses,
tutorials, and so forth.

And yet others learn best with both structure and supervision -- the
traditional classroom method.

There are, of course, no clear lines of demarcation between these
categories.
