Term explanation
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.
SlideLizard CREATOR acts as the slide-layer complement to your LMS: while your LMS manages course enrollments and tracking, CREATOR ensures every presentation-based training module is always current and brand-approved.

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.

They test memory and knowledge retention rather than understanding or analysis. In training sessions and educational presentations, recall questions at the end of a segment can reinforce key points and check how much the audience has absorbed. While they don't assess deeper comprehension, they are an efficient tool for checking baseline knowledge and reinforcing core facts.
