E-Lecture

E-Lecture

Term explanation

Definition and meaning

An e-lecture is a recorded or live-streamed lecture delivered digitally, typically as video content that learners can watch on any device. E-lectures replicate the structure of traditional academic lectures but remove geographic and scheduling constraints. They are common in university distance learning programs, corporate training platforms, and MOOCs. E-lectures are often paired with supplementary materials, quizzes, or discussion forums to maintain engagement and assess comprehension.

SlideLizard LIVE makes e-lectures interactive: embed live polls and Q&A directly in PowerPoint so students engage in real time, signal when they're lost, and stay active throughout the session — not just watch passively.

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.

B2C Events

B2C events (business-to-consumer events) are organized experiences designed to engage end consumers directly — such as product launches, brand activations, pop-up experiences, festivals, or public demonstrations. Unlike B2B events, B2C events prioritize emotional connection, entertainment, and brand perception over formal knowledge exchange. They are used to build brand awareness, drive purchase consideration, and create memorable experiences that consumers associate with a product or brand.

A .ppt file is a presentation created with Microsoft PowerPoint, containing slides with text, images, animations, and transition effects. The .ppt format is the legacy binary version of PowerPoint's native format, predating the XML-based .pptx format introduced with Office 2007. While .pptx has since become the standard, .ppt files remain widely supported for backwards compatibility across modern presentation software.
