# Getting Started

DialogForm is a tool for creating engaging e-Learning content. It lets you create content in the form of a conversation (or a series of conversations) between the teacher and the user.

You can create entire lessons, or even just supplement your existing lessons with natural, free-flowing conversational assessments or explanations that not only keep the user engaged, but also provide you as the teacher with fine-grained control over personalizing and analyzing the user's learning journey.

## Before You Begin

Before you start creating your content, here's a little bit of DialogForm terminology we would like to introduce.

#### Flow

Each unit of learning content you will create in DialogForm is called a **flow**. You can design a flow to be a complete lesson, a part of a lesson, a set of questions to be answered by the user, or even just a single question - it's up to you.

#### Prompt

A flow is made up of **prompts**. A prompt is a message from the chatbot to the user. Together with the message, a prompt also contains possible answers, if any, to expect from the user in response to the message. For each answer, the prompt also specifies which next prompt to show.

#### Share link

Once you create a flow, you can generate a **share link** (a URL) to share the flow with a user. Normally, you will copy and paste the URL in the appropriate place in your Learning Management System (LMS). Many LMSes support rendering 3rd party URLs.

#### Chat

When a user interacts with a flow via the share link, this is termed as a **chat**. You can see & analyze users' individual chat histories on DialogForm. A chat is considered complete when there is no next prompt to show to the user.

## Next Steps

Check out our tutorial, which takes you through many of DialogForm's features and shows you how to put them together to create and deliver a piece of learning content.

Or if you prefer a more exploratory approach, play around with DialogForm, and as you discover its features, learn more about them in the User Guide to help you along.
