Term explanation
Web-based training (WBT) refers to any structured learning program delivered via a web browser, without requiring software installation. WBT courses are accessible from any device with an internet connection, making them ideal for remote teams and distributed workforces. They typically include multimedia content, interactive exercises, and assessments. Web-based training is a subset of e-learning and is widely used for corporate training, compliance programs, and certification courses.
SlideLizard LIVE adds live interaction to web-based training sessions: participants can ask questions, respond to polls, and share feedback directly through their browser — while you present in PowerPoint.

For example, a Fly In animation can be set to arrive from the left, right, top, or bottom. Effect Options give presenters precise control over the appearance and feel of animations without requiring advanced design skills, making it easy to fine-tune motion effects to match the tone and pacing of a presentation.
Learn moreA 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.
Learn morePrompt-to-deck describes the process of generating a complete presentation from a short natural language instruction. The user provides a prompt — a topic, goal, or brief description — and a generative AI system produces a full slide deck including structure, content, and layout. Advanced prompt-to-deck systems go beyond simple templates: they pull in live data, apply brand guidelines automatically, and produce results comparable to a full AI presentation maker. The term is used interchangeably with "text-to-presentation."
Learn moreOpen educational resources (OER) are teaching, learning, and research materials that are freely available for anyone to use, adapt, and redistribute. OER include textbooks, course materials, videos, lesson plans, and assessments released under open licenses such as Creative Commons. The OER movement aims to reduce barriers to quality education by making materials accessible regardless of geography or financial means. Organizations and universities worldwide contribute to and maintain large repositories of OER.
