q2 i? Models perform strongly on spatially grounded teaching-action criteria, while temporal alignment remains comparatively more variable due to fine-grained action–speech synchronization difficulty. → Jaward Sesay 2026

Lecture delivery evaluation: for each generated lecture the ProfessorAgent taught all 15 slides, and expert educators judged six TAQ rubric dimensions per slide. "models perform strongly on spatially grounded criteria, particularly spatial accuracy, handwriting ac- tions, rough notation actions, and embodied teaching."

"As shown in Figure 9, models perform strongly on spatially grounded criteria, particularly spatial accuracy, handwriting ac- tions, rough notation actions, and embodied teaching. This sug- gests that the framework can reliably convert generated lecture materials into visible instructional actions."
