Web-Based-Training (WBT)

Term explanation

Definition and meaning

Web-based training (WBT) refers to any structured learning program delivered via a web browser, without requiring software installation. 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.

SlideLizard LIVE adds live interaction to web-based training sessions: participants can ask questions, respond to polls, and share feedback directly through their browser — while you present in PowerPoint.

External Communication

External communication is the exchange of information between two organisations. For example, it can be an exchange with customers, clients or traders. Feedback from a customer also counts as external communication.

AI Grounding

AI grounding is the process of anchoring an AI system's outputs to verified, real-world data rather than relying solely on knowledge encoded during model training. A grounded AI retrieves relevant, up-to-date information from external sources before generating a response. This significantly reduces the risk of AI hallucinations and ensures that outputs are accurate, current, and contextually relevant — a critical requirement for enterprise AI applications where factual reliability is non-negotiable. Grounding is a core technique used in LLM-powered systems.

Closed Questions

Closed questions are questions that can be answered with a limited set of responses — most commonly a simple 'yes' or 'no', or a selection from predefined options. They are used to gather specific, factual information quickly and efficiently. In presentations and training settings, closed questions are useful for gauging audience understanding, confirming agreement, or running quick polls. While efficient, they offer little depth and should be balanced with open-ended questions when richer feedback or discussion is needed.

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.
