Term explanation
A .pps file is a legacy PowerPoint slideshow format that opens directly in presentation mode rather than the editing view. Double-clicking a .pps file launches the slideshow immediately, which made it popular for distributing finished presentations to audiences. The .pps format was later replaced by .ppsx as part of Office 2007's shift to an open XML-based file structure.
LIZ AI transforms PowerPoint files into living presentations. Whether you work with .pps or .pptx, LIZ connects your slides to live data — so the deck is always ready to run, with current content.

Learn moreProcess questions ask participants to explain how something works, how a decision was made, or how a result was reached — rather than simply what the answer is. They focus on reasoning, methodology, and the steps taken to arrive at an outcome. In training, coaching, and facilitated workshops, process questions help participants reflect on their thinking and deepen their understanding. They are more cognitively demanding than recall questions and are effective for developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Learn moreAn 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.
Learn moreBlended 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.
