My take.
It is my learning style but I would have a hard time sitting through a 30 minute screencast never mind 30 hours.
I prefer reading to listening to lectures, but for most topics i think you are best off focusing your learning around problem sets. This way you know if you are succeeding or not.
I homeschool my son in math and used Kahn academy for the curriculum. I knew if he could do the problems there he was meeting common core requirements and the school district could not complain. I felt qualified to tutor math at that level but would have been lost without a curriculum.
