Major Takeaway
Facilitating a learning activity is much more than following a guide or a presentation. One must consider the delivery format's particularities, whether face-to-face or virtual. In addition, to ensure that instruction is assertive, it is essential to be aware of people's communication styles and preferences and consider them when interacting with learners.
