Open Author is now a single tool providing all of the benefits and features you previously enjoyed in the Resource Builder, Lesson Builder, and Module Builder. These features include, but are not limited to:
Recently updated WYSIWYG Editor, including an Accessibility checker, copy/paste from Word and Excel, and an easy-to-use Math editor
Image upload tools that include alt-text and captions
Multiple download options: PDF, EPUB3 (braille and screen-reader ready), SCORM, and Thin Common Cartridge
Import from Google or Microsoft OneDrive
Add a Co-Author
Instructor content supported for each Section
But what about...
We want to reassure you that your published resources aren’t going anywhere. If you created a resource in one of our previous authoring tools, it will still be available to you in My Items or in your Groups. Those resources can still be remixed by others.
With this initial release, the changes will be in the new authoring environment, not in the published resources. We will be updating the published views in 2020.
I still have questions!
Please send us an email:emedia@uen.org and we'll answer!
