educational film
Learning through video
A film designed to teach or inform rather than primarily entertain.
Educational films cover subjects from science and history to workplace safety and social behavior.
Schools have long used them as teaching aids, and the term sometimes carries connotations of the low-budget, earnest productions students sat through in class: We watched an educational film about the digestive system.
