How Content Composer works

Content Composer handles authoring. Adobe Learning Manager handles delivery, enrollment, tracking, and reporting. Understanding this split explains why publishing to ALM doesn’t require a manual SCORM re-upload the way exporting to a third-party LMS would.

Adobe Learning Manager Content Composer moves through four stages in order:

  • Home screen: Write a prompt to describe the course in plain language. The AI reads your prompt and pre-fills the course brief.

  • Brief: You confirm the following fields:

    • Course title

    • Learner profile

    • Learning objective

In this stage, you can upload files for the AI to draw from and choose whether to restrict generated content to those files only. These inputs shape everything the AI generates downstream.

  • Outline: The AI proposes a lesson and a topic with its objective structure. You can review it and request changes through the chat panel.

When the outline is right, you generate the full course.

  • Course: The AI generates the complete course, organized into a three-level hierarchy:

    • Lessons: the major sections of the course, each covering a distinct part of the subject

    • Topics: the individual units within each lesson, each focused on a single concept or skill

    • Blocks: the content elements that make up each topic: text, images, videos, interactive components such as flip cards, accordions, and timelines, and inline knowledge checks

A graded quiz is added at the end of each lesson.

Note: The lesson and topic structure comes from the outline you approved in the previous stage.

You review, edit, and refine all content, the quiz, and the visual theme before sharing or publishing.

Try Content Composer and describe the course you want to build.

A conversational assistant runs throughout all four stages. It makes changes on request, suggests alternatives, and explains what it can and cannot do.
