Ask HN: Why are the most MOOCs videos showing the lecturer in the video?

For me, HN has a positive attitude toward MOOCs overall. Since I'm talking about videos on programming, why do so many videos show part of the screen the trainer during the whole time while they teach or write code? What is the point of that? I assume that's relatively something new, since KhanAcademy old tutorials are not like this?
