Recall Questions

Term explanation

Definition and meaning

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.

LIZ AI keeps the content of your presentations accurate over time. When recurring decks are automatically updated, the information your audience recalls from previous sessions stays consistent with current data.

Living Presentation

A living presentation is a slide deck that continuously updates to reflect the latest data, content, and context — rather than being a static snapshot. Like a living document, it is connected to data sources that feed new information into the slides automatically. Living presentations are a practical implementation of the Agentic Slides concept and are the natural output of data-driven presentation workflows. They are particularly valuable for recurring formats such as management reports and investor updates.

.ppsx file extension

A .ppsx file is a PowerPoint show file that opens directly in slideshow mode, skipping the editing interface. Unlike .pptx files, which open in the editor, a .ppsx starts the presentation immediately when double-clicked. This makes it ideal for distributing finalized presentations to audiences who only need to view the content. The .ppsx format replaced the older .pps format introduced in Office 2007.

.ppt file extension

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.

.potm file extension

A .potm file is a macro-enabled PowerPoint template that combines the reusable layout and formatting of a standard template with embedded VBA macros. It allows organizations to distribute presentation templates that include automated functionality — such as auto-populating fields or enforcing formatting rules — while maintaining a consistent visual identity. Like .pptm files, .potm files should be handled carefully due to their macro capabilities.
