Term explanation
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.

Virtual events range from webinars and online conferences to virtual trade shows, networking events, and team celebrations. They eliminate geographic and logistical barriers, allowing global participation at low cost. Successful virtual events invest in interactivity — live polls, Q&A sessions, breakout rooms, and networking features — to compensate for the lack of physical presence.
Learn moreProcess questions ask participants to explain how something works, how a decision was made, or how a result was reached — rather than simply what the answer is. They focus on reasoning, methodology, and the steps taken to arrive at an outcome. In training, coaching, and facilitated workshops, process questions help participants reflect on their thinking and deepen their understanding. They are more cognitively demanding than recall questions and are effective for developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Learn moreA tutorial is a structured learning resource that guides a learner step by step through a process, concept, or skill. Tutorials can take many forms — written guides, video walkthroughs, interactive modules, or one-on-one coaching sessions. Unlike formal courses, tutorials tend to be focused on practical application, helping learners achieve a specific outcome quickly. They are widely used in software onboarding, technical training, and skill development platforms.
Learn morePrompt-to-deck describes the process of generating a complete presentation from a short natural language instruction. The user provides a prompt — a topic, goal, or brief description — and a generative AI system produces a full slide deck including structure, content, and layout. Advanced prompt-to-deck systems go beyond simple templates: they pull in live data, apply brand guidelines automatically, and produce results comparable to a full AI presentation maker. The term is used interchangeably with "text-to-presentation."
