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.

Game-based Learning
Game-based learning (GBL) uses game mechanics — such as points, levels, challenges, and rewards — to deliver educational content in an engaging format. Games motivate learners through competition, narrative, and immediate feedback, making them particularly effective for skill practice and knowledge reinforcement. Game-based learning ranges from simple quiz games to complex simulations and serious games developed for specific professional training scenarios.

.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.

Computer Based Training (CBT)
Computer-based training (CBT) refers to self-paced educational programs delivered through software on a computer, without requiring an internet connection or live instructor. CBT packages typically include multimedia content, simulations, and assessments. This format was widely adopted in the 1990s and 2000s as an alternative to classroom training, offering consistency and repeatability. Today, CBT is largely succeeded by web-based training (WBT), though it remains in use where internet access is limited or security is a concern.
