English term or phrase: cameo
"I have also added some examples and cameos that reflect the increased focus on teaching and learning"

Please, can anybody tell me how to translate 'cameo' in this context? I know it has already been asked in Proz, but it has an absolutely different meaning.

Thanks in advance.

muestras breves/síntesis
Explanation:
Aunque ejemplos y muestras parecerían sinónimos, creo que hay una diferencia, pues estas últimas suelen ser más extensas que un mero ejemplo. Espero que te sirva, así lo he traducido en textos sobre educación (bilingüe en EEUU).
