32 cards. Read the term and the definition here. The deck at the top of this page is optional.
- Cloud computing
- Delivery of computing services such as storage, processing, and software over the internet, rather than from local hardware, typically on a subscription or pay-as-you-go basis.
- SaaS
- Software as a Service: a fully managed application accessed through a browser, where the provider handles infrastructure, maintenance, and updates for the customer.
- PaaS
- Platform as a Service: a managed development and runtime environment where the provider manages the platform and the customer manages the application code.
- IaaS
- Infrastructure as a Service: virtualized compute, storage, and networking supplied by a provider, with the customer managing the operating system and above.
- Hybrid cloud
- A computing environment combining public cloud and private cloud infrastructure, with orchestration allowing data and applications to move between them.
- Real-time collaboration
- Simultaneous editing of the same document by multiple users, with changes synchronized near-instantly and presence indicators showing who is active.
- Asynchronous collaboration
- Working together without simultaneous presence, using comments, mentions, task assignments, and version history so participants can contribute at different times.
- Least privilege
- A security principle of granting each user only the minimum access rights needed to perform their task, reducing accidental or malicious damage.
- Cloud storage sync
- Replication of a local folder to remote servers so the same files exist in both places and changes propagate between them automatically.
- Backup vs sync
- Sync keeps copies in step across locations; a backup is a separate point-in-time copy used to recover files after deletion, corruption, or ransomware.
- Share permission levels
- Common cloud file roles ranked from most to least access: owner, editor, commenter, and viewer, where viewer is read-only.
- Anyone-with-link sharing
- A link setting that lets any person holding the URL open the file, often without signing in, which increases exposure compared with named-person sharing.
- File versioning
- Retention of prior copies of a file so an earlier state can be restored after an accidental overwrite or unwanted edit, within the service's retention period.
- Shared folder inheritance
- A folder's permissions apply to the files and subfolders inside it, so moving a file into a shared folder can change who can access it.
- Offline file access
- Marking a cloud file available on a device so it can be opened without connectivity; edits sync when the connection returns and may create conflict copies.
- Revoking access
- Removing a collaborator's permission to a shared file or folder; it stops future access but does not recall copies already downloaded.
- Calendar event fields
- The core attributes of a calendar entry: start and end time, time zone, attendees, location or conferencing link, description, and reminder.
- Recurrence rule
- A setting that repeats an event on a schedule such as daily, weekly, or monthly, with an end condition of never, after N occurrences, or on a date.
- Free/busy lookup
- A calendar feature that shows attendees' available and busy blocks without revealing event details, used to find a common open meeting slot.
- Tentative response
- An attendee reply indicating the person may attend; it appears on the organizer's attendee list alongside accepted and declined responses.
- Calendar delegation
- Granting another person permission to view or manage your calendar, such as an assistant scheduling on behalf of an executive.
- Time zone display
- Changing the zone in which calendar times are shown shifts displayed clock times but not the underlying absolute instant of each event.
- Scheduling poll
- A tool that lets a group vote on candidate meeting times; the organizer confirms the winning slot and creates the event from it.
- Private calendar event
- An event whose details are hidden from others who can see the calendar; they typically see only a busy block without title or description.
- Web conference components
- The typical features of an online meeting: audio, video, screen sharing, text chat, and recording, all affected by bandwidth and device permissions.
- Waiting room
- A virtual holding area where attendees wait until the host admits them, used to control access by uninvited or unverified participants.
- Screen share scope
- The choice to share an entire screen, a single application window, or a browser tab; narrower scope limits exposure of unrelated content.
- Meeting recording consent
- The requirement, varying by jurisdiction and policy, to obtain participants' agreement before recording a web conference; recordings are stored under access and retention rules.
- Meeting lock
- A host control that prevents any additional participants from joining an in-progress meeting once it has been locked.
- Channel
- A named space in a social collaboration platform where a group posts messages, shares files, and organizes discussion around a topic or team.
- Threaded reply
- A response grouped under an original message so related replies stay together, reducing clutter in the main channel feed.
- Presence status
- An indicator such as available, busy, or away that signals a user's current availability and helps others decide when to contact them.
