Lesson plan

Video chapter

Video chapters on online video platforms divide the videos into sections, with each section having a specific "chapter title", most notably YouTube. Most services offer a manual way to add chapter sections and title them, several platforms also offer automatic tools for this. The purpose is to aid the navigation of the video as well as to encourage video creators to structure the videos coherently. Both of these goals aid users in general, and in particular can be beneficial to persons with disabilities. Online learning platforms - such as Coursera - were some of the early adopters of chapters marks in the videos that form part of their curricula as a way to aid navigation, and convey the structure of the lectures and their subject matter.
