Webinar

Term explanation

Definition and meaning

A webinar is a live, interactive online presentation or seminar broadcast over the internet. Participants join from any location using a web browser or app and can interact with the presenter through chat, polls, or Q&A features. Webinars are widely used for training sessions, product demonstrations, thought leadership events, and virtual conferences. Unlike recorded e-learning, webinars create a sense of real-time connection between presenter and audience.

SlideLizard LIVE makes webinars interactive: embed live polls and Q&A directly in your PowerPoint, let participants respond on any device, and turn one-way broadcasts into real two-way conversations.

Personal Response System (PRS)

A personal response system (PRS) — also called an audience response system or clicker system — allows individual participants to respond to questions or vote in polls during a presentation or class. Each participant uses a handheld device or smartphone to submit their answer, and results are aggregated and displayed instantly. PRS technology is used in lectures, corporate training, and conferences to increase participation, gauge understanding, and make sessions more interactive.

A .pot file is a legacy PowerPoint template format used to define reusable styles, layouts, and formatting for presentations. Like its successor .potx, it allows teams to create multiple presentations that share the same visual identity without starting from scratch each time. The .pot format was replaced by .potx in Office 2007, which introduced an open XML-based structure for improved compatibility.

B2C Events

B2C events (business-to-consumer events) are organized experiences designed to engage end consumers directly — such as product launches, brand activations, pop-up experiences, festivals, or public demonstrations. Unlike B2B events, B2C events prioritize emotional connection, entertainment, and brand perception over formal knowledge exchange. They are used to build brand awareness, drive purchase consideration, and create memorable experiences that consumers associate with a product or brand.

Tutorials

A 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.
