Library staff training is under flickering lights next to a noisy makerspace. What should the instructor do?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Flicker and makerspace noise steal attention before the first slide. Fix the lights, quiet the room, or move. Starting over the din just trains people to tune you out.
Full Explanation
Learner comfort includes lighting, noise, and other environmental options the instructor can influence. Addressing those problems—or relocating—belongs before instruction begins. Starting on schedule over the din, denying that comfort is instructional, or handing out earplugs without fixing the room leaves the environment unfit.
