This section presents the proposed categorisation of educational multimedia clips. Six categories of educational
clips are proposed, namely: animations, demos, documentaries, presentations, screencasts and slideshows. These
categories were identified by analysing over 1500 educational multimedia from more than 200 collections that are
available on the Internet through iTunes U1 and YouTube Education2 multimedia services. The characteristics of the
six categories of educational multimedia clips are presented in Table 1.
