Web-Based-Training (WBT)

Term explanation

Definition and meaning

Web-based training (WBT) refers to any structured learning program delivered via a web browser, without requiring software installation. WBT courses are accessible from any device with an internet connection, making them ideal for remote teams and distributed workforces. They typically include multimedia content, interactive exercises, and assessments. Web-based training is a subset of e-learning and is widely used for corporate training, compliance programs, and certification courses.

SlideLizard LIVE adds live interaction to web-based training sessions: participants can ask questions, respond to polls, and share feedback directly through their browser — while you present in PowerPoint.

Body language

Body language is the non-verbal information communicated through physical gestures, posture, facial expressions, eye contact, and movement. In presentations and public speaking, body language plays a critical role in how the speaker's confidence, credibility, and emotional state are perceived. Open posture, deliberate gestures, and sustained eye contact signal confidence and engagement, while crossed arms, fidgeting, and avoiding eye contact can suggest nervousness or disinterest. Presenters who master their body language are generally more persuasive and trustworthy.

Display duration

Display duration in PowerPoint refers to the length of time a slide remains visible before automatically advancing to the next one. Setting a display duration enables auto-play presentations that run without manual input — useful for kiosks, event loops, or self-running demos. Duration settings are configured per slide in the Transitions panel and can be combined with timing controls on individual animations to choreograph a fully automated presentation sequence.
