educational television

For the television series in Hong Kong, see Educational Television (Hong Kong).

Educational television is the use of television programs in the field of education. It may be in the form of individual programs or a dedicated television channel.

Many children's television series are educational, ranging from dedicated learning programs to those that indirectly teach the viewers. Some series are written to have a specific moral behind every episode, often explained at the end by the character that learned the lesson.

There are also educational programs for an older audience; many of these are distance learning or "telecourse" services that can be taken for college credit. Examples of these include Open University programs on BBC television.
