Thanks for this info; it confirms exactly what I was suspecting
about the number of people, time required, and amount of content. I do
think this kind of active engagement learning works best in a "depth
first" way in which less actual stuff is covered more deeply and
thoroughly instead of having more stuff covered shallowly. The former
results in people really learning about less stuff, but the latter
results in people really learning no stuff!
How/where was your 4-hour session held? One of the concerns for
Denver is that holding a single 3-hour session takes up 3 times the
space as a 1-hour session, resulting in fewer overall sessions. I
think they are trying to solve that by finding additional space just
for this kind of workshop, but info from Paris will be useful.
Excellent info.
