An e-Learning Resource Authoring System (ERA)

The E-Learning Resource Authoring (ERA) system developed by Ronald J. Aust and Edward L. Meyen at the University of Kansas is a versatile and robust platform designed to create rich web-based educational (WBE) content. It features content architecture design, content validation, production capacity, and interactive media packaging. The ERA ensures high-quality, accessible learning experiences tailored to various user learning styles, while supporting large-scale production and compliance with accessibility standards. Future enhancements aim to develop reusable learning objects and improve compatibility with portable devices.
