I like your description of "high-bandwidth" interactions. In what ways are interaction designers incorporating this into their designs? Rich, multi-media experiences? Video? Has anyone else tried out Adobe Connectnow?
I'm thinking that the in-person and distance versions of these design courses and workshops probably have their own distinct advantages over the other.
Yes, learning styles should come into play when deciding on the best route to take. I also wonder if another consideration might be what kind of work you're looking to get into. Is there such a thing as a telecommuting Interaction Designer? Why not! :) I think this could be relevant, especially for web designers.
My personal preference is actually a mix of both distance and in-person interaction, both for learning, and for working. I like the "high-bandwidth" benefits, but also understand the value of distance and loosely-coupled communication.
I bet a pint that a handful of curriculum designers are having this very conversation, as we speak!
