Maybe I'm being stupid here, but I find it hard to see the difference between Wiki's "explicit teaching of a skill-set using lectures or demonstrations of the material" and, say, "traditional blackboard-and-chalk instruction". Possibly I'm missing a joke? If not, what is the difference between "teaching [using] lectures" and, um, lectures?
That's...not what's being contrasted here...
Glad to hear it. In that case, it seems that the Wiki description is rather a bad one, since it could give such a misleading impression, and some different summary is needed.
