Description¶

The article presents Table 2, an index of instructional video styles compiled by breadth-first random sampling of available videos across major repositories and platforms (e.g., TED, iTunesU, Khan Academy, Udacity, Coursera, MIT OpenCourseware, YouTube, and research prototypes). Each entry carries an index symbol, a screenshot, and nominal coordinates on the two taxonomy dimensions, e.g., "instructor, audience" with animation for TED and "talking-head" with slides for Coursera. The article states: "We performed a breadth-first random sampling of the available instructional video styles, in order to classify them in Table 2 according to two factors: human embodiment and instructional media."
