A hands-on orientation session is more interactive and immersive compared to providing a brochure or manual, as it allows the volunteer to ask questions, receive immediate feedback, and learn through practical application. A video may provide some visual information, but it lacks the interactive and personalized approach of a hands-on orientation session.Rate this question:
