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.

Virtual Event

A virtual event is an event that takes place entirely online, with all participants joining remotely via digital platforms. Virtual events range from webinars and online conferences to virtual trade shows, networking events, and team celebrations. They eliminate geographic and logistical barriers, allowing global participation at low cost. Successful virtual events invest in interactivity — live polls, Q&A sessions, breakout rooms, and networking features — to compensate for the lack of physical presence.

In live online training, it is sometimes useful to divide the students into small groups for certain exercises, as it would be impossible to have conversations at the same time.
