We learned about Mentored video training when we met Chris Shattuck last Fall at BADCamp. Chris had just delivered his first mentored video workshop as part of the pre-camp training, and his training event was very well-received.

It seems pretty strange to sit down in a room with a bunch of strangers, strap on some headphones, and begin watching online videos that you can just as easily watch at home. But it's our job provide resources for people in a way that's both high-quality and sustainable, so we were pretty intrigued by the concept.

As it turns out, the idea is new to Drupal but is thriving elsewhere.
