I think it has a lot to do with the people producing it just not being educators; at least, not for years and not with the 100s/1000s of students necessary to build up those skills. And a lot of the training for technical educators is based around technical learning being tool-based; where you do just need a series of short videos on a GUI. It's a complex problem. I am aware, however, that a lot of people working in online learning think that this is a good style. I believe as it helps with learner engagement. I have to think, however, that this is just because there's nothing actually challenging to engage with.
