'''Layered exposition''' is a style of exposition where the same exposition carries different layers of meaning for [[learner]]s coming in with different background knowledge, skills, abilities, and learning styles. Layered expositions tend to have more "rewatch" / "review" value, because a learner going through the exposition a second or third time is able to notice layers that were missed in the first iteration.
