I used to call it a crockpot when I was growing up, but all the recipes I started getting when I got my own are always labeled "slow cooker recipes", so I ended up starting to call it that too. Now I randomly use either.

What is a slow cooker and how does it differ from just sticking something in the oven for a long time?

[Foras]

The juices keep the meat moist.

[Conrad]

It cooks things at a low temperature (enough to heat it up but not to let it boil or burn) and lets the flavor spread to the entirety of the dish. Also most people don't want to put things in the oven for 4-8 hours at a time.

^ this is probably the biggest difference imo. Putting it in a crock dish and putting it in the oven still isn't going to make the meat as moist, and have as much flavor. I've done both ways with my corned beef, no comparison (even stovetop cooking).

A typical slow cooker is designed to heat food to 170F on low, to perhaps 190-200F on high

an oven is 200-500F

also, saying crockpot is like using kleenex, coke, or google as the generic term for that thing.
