televised lectures

Broadcast educational presentations

Televised lectures are educational presentations broadcast on television, typically featuring an instructor speaking to a camera rather than a live audience.

The format dominated early educational television and distance learning before online video took over.

The professor's televised lectures reached thousands of students across the state.

The phrase often carries a slightly dated feel, evoking public broadcasting or early university extension programs.
