Computer Based Training (CBT)

Computer Based Training (CBT)

Term explanation

Definition and meaning

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.

SlideLizard CREATOR manages your CBT slide content centrally — so training materials are always up to date, brand-consistent, and accessible to every team member directly inside PowerPoint.

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.

AI Agent

An AI agent is a software system that perceives its environment, reasons over context, and autonomously takes actions to achieve a defined goal — without requiring a human to trigger each individual step. Unlike a chatbot that responds to a single prompt, an AI agent plans, executes multi-step tasks, uses tools, and adapts based on the results it observes. AI agents can operate independently or as part of larger multi-agent systems, and are increasingly embedded in enterprise software to automate complex workflows across departments.
