educational programming
Teaching through media
Educational programming refers to television shows, radio broadcasts, or digital content designed to teach rather than merely entertain.
The term most often describes children's programming with learning objectives: Sesame Street pioneered educational programming in the 1960s.
It also applies to documentaries, instructional videos, and public broadcasting content aimed at any age.
In a separate sense, educational programming means teaching computer coding in schools or universities.
