Living Presentation

Living Presentation

Term explanation

Definition and meaning

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.

With LIZ AI's Agentic Slides, every PowerPoint becomes a living presentation: connected to your data, updated automatically, and always ready for the next meeting — without anyone manually refreshing a single slide.

Master view

Master View in PowerPoint allows presenters to edit the Slide Master — a top-level template that controls the default fonts, colors, backgrounds, and layouts applied across all slides in a presentation. Changes made in Master View propagate automatically to every slide that uses that layout, making it the most efficient way to apply brand guidelines and maintain visual consistency across large presentations. Master View is essential for template creation and company-wide design standardization.

Computer Based Training (CBT)

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.

Virtual Reality

In a learning context, virtual reality (VR) creates immersive, simulated environments in which learners can practice skills, explore scenarios, or experience situations that would be difficult, expensive, or dangerous to replicate in real life. VR training is used in industries such as healthcare, aviation, manufacturing, and emergency services. By placing learners inside a realistic environment, VR significantly increases engagement, retention, and the transfer of skills to real-world performance.

Title Slide

A title slide is the opening slide of a presentation, typically displaying the title, subtitle, presenter name, date, and company or event branding. It is the first thing the audience sees and sets the visual and tonal expectations for everything that follows. A strong title slide creates a professional first impression, establishes brand identity, and frames the topic clearly. It is often displayed on screen before the presentation begins as attendees are taking their seats.
