Computer Based Training (CBT)

Computer Based Training (CBT)

Term explanation

Definition and meaning

Computer-based training (CBT) refers to self-paced educational programs delivered through software on a computer, without requiring an internet connection or live instructor. CBT packages typically include multimedia content, simulations, and assessments. This format was widely adopted in the 1990s and 2000s as an alternative to classroom training, offering consistency and repeatability. Today, CBT is largely succeeded by web-based training (WBT), though it remains in use where internet access is limited or security is a concern.

SlideLizard CREATOR manages your CBT slide content centrally — so training materials are always up to date, brand-consistent, and accessible to every team member directly inside PowerPoint.

Generative AI

Generative AI refers to artificial intelligence systems that create new content — such as text, images, code, or structured data — in response to a prompt or task, rather than simply analyzing or classifying existing information. Powered by large language models and other foundation models, generative AI can write documents, summarize reports, produce slide content, and translate data into natural language. In enterprise settings, it is the core technology behind modern AI assistants, document automation tools, and presentation generators. A presentation-specific evolution of generative AI is the Large Presentation Model (LPM), which combines generative capabilities with enterprise context, brand guidelines, and the full presentation cycle.
