Graham,

I have given both. What I found is that the indoor was better for attentativeness on the student. But the results were artificial. Meaning that the student created a "this is me inside my head based on what the instructor wants me to be" performance.

Different from an outdoor expierence where the student was more aware of the overall affect of the world on them, the difficulties there, and that better simulated what a normal situation dictates.

Taking the climate into consideration and knowing that if the indoor expierence is a must (10 degrees outside, and this is about your only option), that a normal outdoor lesson is better overall...the student is going to take what they were instructed to do, replicate and retain better then an indoor lesson that had optium conditions that did not translate back to the outside world well.
