Subclaims¶

q2 i? The review reports, citing Santos-Espino, Afonso-Suárez, and Guerra-Artal (2016), that MOOC courses in humanities and arts emphasize speaker-centric styles while science and engineering courses emphasize board-centric styles, with social and life sciences balanced between them. → Chorianopoulos 2018

q2 · i? · review · r2

Narrative review attributing to Santos-Espino et al. (2016) a survey of instructional video styles on contemporary MOOC platforms, which "classified them in two main categories: speaker-centric and board-centric." The disciplinary pattern is the review's report of that survey's findings.

"they found that courses on humanities and arts emphasize the former, while science and engineering ones emphasize the latter. Social and life sciences employ a balanced approach between the speaker-centric and board-centric styles"
