Authentic learning is the technique used in education institutes of all levels to help the students understand concepts by linking academic concepts with real-world scenarios. The use of e-learning is found very useful in conveying ideas with visual and vocal methods. Integrating e-learning and authentic learning creates a new paradigm of learning beneficial to both the teachers and students in knowledge sharing. This study deals with the significance of authentic learning in the e-learning framework. A prototype application is developed to convey knowledge to the participants, and further analysis of understanding is made using a survey questionnaire. The survey is based on a set of parameters to analyze the remembering and understanding outcome of participating individuals against their age, prior experience, and educational level. The results show consistency for all the factors, showing the effectiveness of e-learning tools and authentic learning methods
