Blended Learning

Term explanation

Definition and meaning

Blended learning combines traditional face-to-face instruction with digital and online learning activities. A typical blended model might include in-person workshops supported by e-learning modules, video content, or discussion boards that learners engage with before or after class. Blended learning gives instructors flexibility to use classroom time for higher-order activities while delegating knowledge transfer to self-paced digital content, improving both efficiency and learner outcomes.

SlideLizard LIVE makes the live component of blended learning truly interactive: embed polls, quizzes, and Q&A directly in PowerPoint so in-person and remote participants engage equally.

Tutorials

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.

Agentic Slides

Agentic Slides are presentation slides that autonomously respond to changes in connected enterprise systems. Rather than being static documents, Agentic Slides pull live data from sources like CRM, ERP, or BI tools and update their content automatically. When KPIs shift or new information becomes available, the relevant slides are refreshed without manual effort. The concept makes presentations a living part of an organization's data infrastructure.
