Closed Questions

Term explanation

Definition and meaning

Closed questions are questions that can be answered with a limited set of responses — most commonly a simple 'yes' or 'no', or a selection from predefined options. They are used to gather specific, factual information quickly and efficiently. In presentations and training settings, closed questions are useful for gauging audience understanding, confirming agreement, or running quick polls. While efficient, they offer little depth and should be balanced with open-ended questions when richer feedback or discussion is needed.

LIZ AI helps structure presentations around the questions that matter. The Smart Presentation Composer frames content with clear, focused messaging — making it easier for audiences to follow arguments and reach conclusions.

A screen presentation refers to a presentation delivered entirely via a computer or device screen, without a physical projection setup. It is common in video calls, webinars, and remote meetings where the presenter shares their screen with participants. Screen presentations place greater emphasis on slide clarity, font size, and content structure, since the audience views content on varying screen sizes. They are increasingly the dominant format as remote and hybrid work has grown.
