In last decade, more and more platforms for e-learning content delivery provide adaptability towards learners goals, styles and performance. Usually, such platforms rely on own authoring tool or use external one in order to create learning materials. Usually, these tools follow modern e-learning standards but are rather complicated to be used and miss interoperability features. In this paper, we present software construction of an authoring tool, which is a part of a platform for building edutainment (education plus entertainment) services – ADOPTA (ADaptive technOlogy-enhanced Platform for eduTAinment). This authoring tool is designed by using Java Enterprise Edition platform and provides inheritance mechanisms for learning object metadata descriptions, metadata for semantic ontology graphs, and good integration with instructor tool for creation of adaptive courseware.
