educational series
Instructive program sequence
An educational series is a sequence of programs, books, or videos designed to teach a subject progressively.
Episodes or installments build on previous ones, moving from basics to complexity: PBS ran an educational series on the Civil War.
The term often describes children's programming but applies to content for any age.
