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.

It combines the instant-launch behavior of .ppsx files with the automation capabilities of macro-enabled formats. This makes .ppsm files useful for interactive or automated presentations, though they carry the same security considerations as other macro-enabled Office formats.

Webinar

A webinar is a live, interactive online presentation or seminar broadcast over the internet. Participants join from any location using a web browser or app and can interact with the presenter through chat, polls, or Q&A features. Webinars are widely used for training sessions, product demonstrations, thought leadership events, and virtual conferences. Unlike recorded e-learning, webinars create a sense of real-time connection between presenter and audience.

Microlearning

Microlearning delivers educational content in short, focused segments — typically between 3 and 10 minutes. Rather than completing a lengthy course, learners engage with bite-sized units that cover a single concept or skill. Microlearning is effective for knowledge reinforcement, mobile training, and just-in-time learning. It fits naturally into busy workdays and is widely used in corporate onboarding, compliance training, and professional development programs.
