Live Online Training (LOT)

Term explanation

Definition and meaning

Live online training is a synchronous learning format in which an instructor leads a session in real time via video conferencing or webinar platforms. Participants join from different locations and interact with the trainer and fellow learners through chat, polls, breakout rooms, and Q&A. Unlike pre-recorded e-learning, live online training maintains the immediacy and interactivity of in-person training while removing geographic barriers.

SlideLizard LIVE integrates directly with Microsoft Teams and PowerPoint: run live polls, quizzes, and Q&A sessions during your online training — so remote participants stay as engaged as those in the room.

Process Questions

Process 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.

Learning Management System (LMS)

A learning management system (LMS) is a software platform used to create, deliver, manage, and track educational programs and training. Organizations use LMS platforms to host e-learning courses, manage enrollments, monitor learner progress, and generate compliance reports. Common LMS platforms include Moodle, Cornerstone, and TalentLMS. An LMS acts as the operational backbone of an organization's digital learning strategy, connecting learners, content, and administrators in one place.

Agentic Slides

Agentic Slides are presentation slides that autonomously respond to changes in connected enterprise systems. Rather than being static documents, Agentic Slides pull live data from sources like CRM, ERP, or BI tools and update their content automatically. When KPIs shift or new information becomes available, the relevant slides are refreshed without manual effort. The concept makes presentations a living part of an organization's data infrastructure.

Asynchronous Learning

Asynchronous learning refers to educational experiences that do not require all participants to be present at the same time. Learners access materials, complete exercises, and submit work according to their own schedule within a defined timeframe. Common formats include recorded video lectures, discussion boards, and self-paced e-courses. Asynchronous learning offers flexibility for geographically dispersed or busy learners and forms the backbone of most online learning programs.
