👉 A handout is a small piece of paper or other printed material that is often used to distribute information, ideas, or instructions. It can be written in handwriting or scanned and then printed out for easy distribution. Handouts are typically designed to be short and concise, with minimal formatting such as headings, subheadings, or bullet points. They are commonly used in lectures, seminars, workshops, and other educational settings to help students or participants retain information more easily.
