This study proposes a novel automated course generation system embedded in an online lecturing platform to create electronic course content from online lectures for higher education. The purpose of the system is to make the e‐content development faster by synchronizing the lecturer video stream and the presentation slide, based on a series of events in real‐time, automatically. The system detects events during the online lecture, such as slide changing, cursor positioning and video quality changing, and links them to the exact position of the recorded video stream to appear as it was in the real presentation. The system implements an authoring algorithm, namely the Course Generation (CG) algorithm which allows fast and fully automatic authoring process. Furthermore, the created contents are integrated into a web‐based learning environment, which is an important step on the long way to making learning more time and space independent as a concept of Internet of Everything (IoE) in education. A practical usage of the system is also presented, which demonstrated its usefulness and effectiveness in developing e‐contents in higher education. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
