Agree with this 100%. Long before Covid, and even before the internet was everywhere, med schools (or at least my med school) made it easy for students to choose their preferred method of learning, which didn’t have to be class attendance. For me, the student-run note-taking service meant I could read (rather than listen), and thus store tons of information in my weird, visually oriented memory filing system. I don’t mean visually as in pictures, photos, charts, or schematics, but just this spatial memory of where on a page the text blob with the relevant information was (and also where I was sitting when reading it, which is useless). When I recall something that I did happen to learn in class, I have a memory of where I was sitting in the auditorium for that lecture.
Flipped classroom is a trendy buzzword. But liking a textbook or notes better than a snoozefest sorry I mean lecture - that’s been around forever. And I have family who think reading is the snoozefest and auditory is the way to go…to each his own.
