Layered exposition

Definition

Layered exposition is a style of exposition where the same exposition carries different layers of meaning for learners coming in with different background knowledge, skills, abilities, and learning styles.

The concept of layering is borrowed from storytelling in art (in forms such as music, art, and fiction).

Advantages =

• 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.
• Layered expositions can be useful in contexts where the same exposition needs to be used for multiple learners; for instance, a class where the student body is diverse.
