Term explanation
Flipped Classroom means that students work out the subject matter themselves at home through tasks such as reading, videos, etc. Interactive learning activities and exercises then take place in class.
SlideLizard LIVE is the perfect tool for flipped classroom sessions: embed quizzes and live polls directly in your PowerPoint to test what students prepared at home and drive active discussion in class.

WBT courses are accessible from any device with an internet connection, making them ideal for remote teams and distributed workforces. They typically include multimedia content, interactive exercises, and assessments. Web-based training is a subset of e-learning and is widely used for corporate training, compliance programs, and certification courses.
Learn moreA virtual event is an event that takes place entirely online, with all participants joining remotely via digital platforms. Virtual events range from webinars and online conferences to virtual trade shows, networking events, and team celebrations. They eliminate geographic and logistical barriers, allowing global participation at low cost. Successful virtual events invest in interactivity — live polls, Q&A sessions, breakout rooms, and networking features — to compensate for the lack of physical presence.
Learn moreOpen questions invite a full, unrestricted response rather than a simple yes or no. They typically begin with words like 'how', 'what', 'why', or 'tell me about'. In presentations, coaching, interviews, and research, open questions encourage deeper thinking, surface underlying perspectives, and generate richer dialogue. They are essential for understanding audience needs, facilitating discussions, and building engagement during interactive sessions.
Learn moreA vocalized pause is a filler sound — such as 'um', 'uh', 'er', or 'like' — used involuntarily by speakers when they pause to think or gather their thoughts. While occasional pauses are natural, frequent vocalized pauses can undermine a speaker's credibility, reduce clarity, and make a presentation feel less polished. Reducing vocalized pauses is a common goal in public speaking coaching, and is typically addressed through practice, conscious awareness, and the deliberate use of silent pauses instead.
