Term explanation
A tutorial is a structured learning resource that guides a learner step by step through a process, concept, or skill. Tutorials can take many forms — written guides, video walkthroughs, interactive modules, or one-on-one coaching sessions. Unlike formal courses, tutorials tend to be focused on practical application, helping learners achieve a specific outcome quickly. They are widely used in software onboarding, technical training, and skill development platforms.

Unlike .pptx files, which open in the editor, a .ppsx starts the presentation immediately when double-clicked. This makes it ideal for distributing finalized presentations to audiences who only need to view the content. The .ppsx format replaced the older .pps format introduced in Office 2007.
Learn moreIn 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.
Learn moreHorizontal communication flows between people at the same level within an organization — for example, between colleagues in the same department or team leaders across different departments. It facilitates coordination, knowledge sharing, and collaborative problem-solving without the need for information to travel up and down the hierarchy. Effective horizontal communication reduces bottlenecks, breaks down silos, and is essential for cross-functional project work and agile organizational structures.
Learn moreA concept presentation introduces a new idea, product concept, or strategic direction to an audience for evaluation or feedback. It is typically used in early stages of a project — before a full proposal is developed — to test reactions, align stakeholders, or secure initial approval. A good concept presentation clearly communicates the core idea, explains the problem it solves, and outlines the key assumptions, without yet committing to a full implementation plan.
