Term explanation
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.
Learn more →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.

Learn moreOpen educational resources (OER) are teaching, learning, and research materials that are freely available for anyone to use, adapt, and redistribute. OER include textbooks, course materials, videos, lesson plans, and assessments released under open licenses such as Creative Commons. The OER movement aims to reduce barriers to quality education by making materials accessible regardless of geography or financial means. Organizations and universities worldwide contribute to and maintain large repositories of OER.
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.
