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.

Recall Questions

Recall questions ask participants to retrieve and state information they have previously learned or been told. They test memory and knowledge retention rather than understanding or analysis. In training sessions and educational presentations, recall questions at the end of a segment can reinforce key points and check how much the audience has absorbed. While they don't assess deeper comprehension, they are an efficient tool for checking baseline knowledge and reinforcing core facts.

Persuasive Presentations

A persuasive presentation is designed to change the audience's opinion, attitude, or behavior. The presenter builds a case using evidence, logic, and emotional appeal to move the audience toward a specific conclusion or action. Persuasive presentations are common in sales pitches, political speeches, fundraising campaigns, and change management initiatives. They differ from informative presentations in that they take a deliberate position and actively seek buy-in.

Vocal distractions

Vocal distractions are habits or patterns in a speaker's voice that draw attention away from the content of a message. These include filler words like 'um' and 'uh', monotone delivery, excessive speed or slowness, a rising intonation at the end of statements (upspeak), and throat-clearing. Vocal distractions reduce the impact and perceived professionalism of a presentation. They can typically be addressed through targeted public speaking practice, recording and self-review, and professional coaching.
