PROMISLingua dispune de o abordare extrem de inovativă care presupune o înțelegere comună și o nomenclatură comună. Următoarea secțiune prezintă o listă de termeni specializați și definiția acestora.
- RAM (Random Access Memory)
-
Temporary storage built into a computer system that functions as a "workspace" for data and program instructions.
Source: Learning Circuits
- Real-time communication
-
Communication in which information is received at (or nearly at) the instant it is sent. Real-time communication is a characteristic of synchronous learning.

- Receipts
-
Means financial transfers made available to a participant by a third party to be used to carry out the project, and any income generated by the project itself, if generated during the life of the project or up to the time when the final financial statement is submitted to the Commission, whichever is later.

- Receive site
-
A location that can receive transmissions from another site for distance learning.

- Registry
-
The Windows Registry stores system configuration details so that Windows looks and behaves just as you want it to. The Registry stores user profile information such as wallpaper, color schemes, and desktop arrangements in a file called user.dat. And it stores hardware- and software-specific details, such as device management and file extension associations, in a file called system.dat.
In many ways, the Registry (Windows 95 and later) replaces functions of win.ini and system.ini from earlier versions of Windows, though these files persist because so many Windows applications refer to them. Registry details can be edited using a program called RegEdit (which ships with Windows 95 and later) and exported to text format as a file with the extension REG.
- Repurpose
-
To reuse content by revising or restructuring it for a different purpose than it was originally intended or in a different way.

- Resolution
-
Resolution is a measure of graphics that's used to describe what a printer can print, a scanner can scan, and a monitor can display. In printers and scanners, resolution is measured in dots per inch (dpi) – the number of pixels a device can fit in an inch of space.A monitor's resolution refers to the number of pixels in the whole image, because the number of dots per inch varies depending on the screen's dimensions.
For example, a resolution of 1,280 by 1,024 means that 1,024 lines are drawn from the top to the bottom of the screen, and each of these lines is made up of 1,280 separate pixels – and in turn, each dot may have any number of combinations of red, green, and blue intensities.
Common resolutions in the PC world include 640 by 480 (also called VGA resolution; appropriate for a 14-inch monitor), 800 by 600 (appropriate for a 15-inch monitor), 1,024 by 768 (appropriate for a 17-inch monitor), and 1,280 by 1,024.
- Resolution
-
The clarity of the image on the video display screen.

- Reusable
-
E-learning content that can be transferred to various infrastructures or delivery mechanisms, usually without changes.

- RFID (Radio Frequency Identification)
-
A wireless information-transmission technology set to take the place of bar codes. A tag is placed on the object and then read by an antenna and transceiver.
The object does not need to be in the same line of sight as the transceiver, as products with bar codes do, and the transceiver can function over greater distances than bar code readers. Source: Learning Circuits
- RFP (Request For Proposal)
-
A document produced by a company seeking goods or services and distributed to prospective suppliers. Suppliers then provide proposals based on the criteria specified within the RFP.

- RIO (Reusable Information Object)
-
A collection of content, practice, and assessment items assembled around a single learning objective. RIOs are built from templates based on whether the goal is to communicate a concept, fact, process, principle, or procedure. (Pronounced "REE-O")

- RLO (Reusable Learning Object)
-
A collection of RIOs, overview, summary, and assessments that supports a specific learning objective. (Pronounced "R-L-O")

- ROI (Return On Investment)
-
Generally, a ratio of the benefit or profit received from a given investment to the cost of the investment itself. In e-learning, ROI is most often calculated by comparing the tangible results of training (for example, an increase in units produced or a decrease in error rate) to the cost of providing the training.

- Role play
-
(noun) A training technique in which learners act out characters in order to try out behaviors, practice interactions, communicate for a desired outcome, and/or solve a dynamic problem. Role plays can reinforce learning and help people apply new information, skills, and techniques.
(verb) To participate in a role play. Source: Learning Circuits
- Router
-
This piece of hardware does what it says: it routes data from a local area network (LAN) to a phone line's long distance line. Routers also act as traffic cops, allowing only authorized machines to transmit data into the local network so that private information can remain secure. In addition to supporting these dial-in and leased connections, routers also handle errors, keep network usage statistics, and handle security issues.
- Rules and regulations (structure) A1
-
Rules and regulations includes all relevant legislation and adopted or imposed standards that govern the operations and objectives of the organisation.
