Live Online Training (LOT)

Term explanation

Definition and meaning

Live online training is a synchronous learning format in which an instructor leads a session in real time via video conferencing or webinar platforms. Participants join from different locations and interact with the trainer and fellow learners through chat, polls, breakout rooms, and Q&A. Unlike pre-recorded e-learning, live online training maintains the immediacy and interactivity of in-person training while removing geographic barriers.

SlideLizard LIVE integrates directly with Microsoft Teams and PowerPoint: run live polls, quizzes, and Q&A sessions during your online training — so remote participants stay as engaged as those in the room.

Blended Learning

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.

Title Slide

A title slide is the opening slide of a presentation, typically displaying the title, subtitle, presenter name, date, and company or event branding. It is the first thing the audience sees and sets the visual and tonal expectations for everything that follows. A strong title slide creates a professional first impression, establishes brand identity, and frames the topic clearly. It is often displayed on screen before the presentation begins as attendees are taking their seats.

Hybrid Audience

A mix between in-person and virtual participants for an event or a lecture is called a hybrid audience. Working with a hybrid audience may be challenging, as it requires the presenter to find ways to engage both the live and the virtual audience.

Recall Questions

Recall questions ask participants to retrieve and state information they have previously learned or been told. They test memory and knowledge retention rather than understanding or analysis. In training sessions and educational presentations, recall questions at the end of a segment can reinforce key points and check how much the audience has absorbed. While they don't assess deeper comprehension, they are an efficient tool for checking baseline knowledge and reinforcing core facts.
