Online Communication
Online communication encompasses all forms of information exchange that take place over digital networks — including email, instant messaging, video calls, social media, webinars, and collaborative platforms. It has become the dominant mode of professional communication, enabling global teams to collaborate in real time regardless of location.

Blended Learning
Blended learning combines traditional face-to-face instruction with digital and online learning activities. A typical blended model might include in-person workshops supported by e-learning modules, video content, or discussion boards that learners engage with before or after class. Blended learning gives instructors flexibility to use classroom time for higher-order activities while delegating knowledge transfer to self-paced digital content, improving both efficiency and learner outcomes.

The .pps format was later replaced by .ppsx as part of Office 2007's shift to an open XML-based file structure.
