Which scenario BEST illustrates 'chunking' as a presentation design technique?

Chunking divides content into digestible segments aligned with working memory capacity, typically 5–9 units per chunk.

Answer: Move physically closer to those participants while continuing to speak
Moving toward disruptive participants signals awareness and typically stops the behavior without interrupting the group.

Answer: Ensuring equitable engagement for both in-room and remote participants
Remote participants are easily forgotten in hybrid settings; deliberate facilitation strategies are needed to give them equal voice and attention.
A trainer receives negative feedback that their presentation was 'too theoretical.' To address this in future sessions, they should PRIMARILY:

Adults retain theory better when it is immediately grounded in practical application and recognizable real-world scenarios.
