Which item is NOT one of the six factors to consider in planning instructional delivery?

• A. Force of delivery
• B. Rate of speech
• C. Pauses
• D. Volume

Answer: (D)

Planning instructional delivery focuses on shaping how you present information so learners can process and retain it. Three core delivery choices you actively plan are how forcefully you deliver key points, how fast you speak, and where you insert pauses to cue important moments and give learners time to think. Volume, while important for being heard, is largely determined by room size and equipment and isn’t typically treated as a variable you plan as part of the instructional delivery strategy. That’s why volume is not one of the six factors to consider in planning instructional delivery, whereas force of delivery, rate of speech, and pauses are directly addressed in the delivery plan.
