Live Online Training (LOT)

Term explanation

Definition and meaning

Live online training is a synchronous learning format in which an instructor leads a session in real time via video conferencing or webinar platforms. Participants join from different locations and interact with the trainer and fellow learners through chat, polls, breakout rooms, and Q&A. Unlike pre-recorded e-learning, live online training maintains the immediacy and interactivity of in-person training while removing geographic barriers.

SlideLizard LIVE integrates directly with Microsoft Teams and PowerPoint: run live polls, quizzes, and Q&A sessions during your online training — so remote participants stay as engaged as those in the room.
