Interview

Term explanation

Definition and meaning

In a communication context, an interview is a structured conversation in which one or more people ask questions to gather information, evaluate a candidate, or explore a topic in depth. Interviews can be formal or informal and occur across many settings — job recruitment, journalism, research, and broadcast media. Effective interviewers prepare focused questions, actively listen, and manage time to cover key areas. Interviewees benefit from clear, structured answers that directly address what is being asked.

Master view

Master View in PowerPoint allows presenters to edit the Slide Master — a top-level template that controls the default fonts, colors, backgrounds, and layouts applied across all slides in a presentation. Changes made in Master View propagate automatically to every slide that uses that layout, making it the most efficient way to apply brand guidelines and maintain visual consistency across large presentations. Master View is essential for template creation and company-wide design standardization.

E-Lecture

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.

Leading Questions

Leading questions are phrased in a way that suggests or implies a preferred answer, subtly guiding the respondent toward a specific response. For example, 'Don't you think this approach is more efficient?' nudges toward agreement. In presentations and sales contexts, leading questions can be used deliberately to build consensus or steer a conversation. However, they can also introduce bias in research and surveys, making it important to recognize and manage their influence on responses.

Data-Driven Presentation

A data-driven presentation is a slide deck in which the content — charts, KPIs, tables, and narrative text — is directly derived from live or structured data sources rather than manually entered. Rather than copying figures from a dashboard into PowerPoint, data-driven presentations pull information automatically from connected systems such as CRM, ERP, or BI tools. The result is a living presentation that always reflects current data — and is the foundation of Agentic Slides architecture.
