Here's a rewrite with pointers

Use Case: Group Study (AKA "Cram") Session

A group of physics students at the local Institute of Technology are cramming
for finals together. As they work, they review a series of video lectures by
an eminent physicist that were included in their course materials. While the
group stops and starts the video, running it forward and back covering all the
structural landmarks [1] to examine on screen presentations, the blind student
among them participates by following a braille printout of the extended video
descriptions [2]. The group uses a system map of the structural landmarks
provided in the video to be sure not to miss any key concepts covered in the
lecture. Furthermore, the group finds the enhanced captions [3] available with
the videos useful for their glossary and hyperlinks to additional information,
even though no one in this particular group is hearing impaired.
