Instructor doesn't highlight that is being explained

This is more of an observation than a question. I apologize for posting, but I've seen a trend for many videos in this php course where the Instructor is not highlighting the code being explained. All we see is a blinking cursor, often blinking on an entirely different line.

Even basic youtube videos highlight. It makes it much easier for our eyes to follow, especially for us visual people. For me it's a must!

For example, At the 42 second mark of this video, Alena says the code is being executed "here" but doesn't highlight the code she is referencing? Where is "here"?

In all fairness she does mention it's at the end of the try / catch block, but then again, there is a cursor that is blinking on an entirely different line.

For a visual person such as myself, I find this frustrating and time consuming.

Please highlight, Thank you =)
