Break-out-Room

Break-out-Room

Term explanation

Definition and meaning

In live online training, it is sometimes useful to divide the students into small groups for certain exercises, as it would be impossible to have conversations at the same time. Break-out-rooms are used so that people can talk to each other without disturbing the others. When the exercise is over, they are sent back to the main room.

SlideLizard LIVE keeps participants connected between breakout sessions: send messages to attendee devices, collect real-time feedback, and use live polls to re-energize the group when everyone reconvenes.
