Electronic content management and delivery platform

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing executable computer program instructions for distributing educational electronic documents, the computer program instructions comprising instructions for:

• generating markup language page elements and document structure metadata that collectively preserve page fidelity of a document having a plurality of correlated pages, the page fidelity preserved across a plurality of targeted web browsers, the markup language page elements corresponding to elements of information on each correlated page of the document and the document structure metadata identifying locations and composition of the elements of information;
• packaging the markup language page elements and the document structure metadata into a plurality of assets for delivery, asset of the plurality of assets including the markup language page elements and the document structure metadata for a portion of the document;
• generating for an asset of the plurality of assets, a unique time-based URL referencing the markup language page elements of the asset and establishing a time of expiry of the markup language elements of the asset, the unique time-based URL referencing the markup language elements of the asset prior to the time of expiry and not referencing the markup language elements of the asset after the time of expiry;
• and
• transferring the unique time-based URL of the asset to end-user web applications of authorized users, the end-user web applications executing in the targeted web browsers for using the unique time-based URL to access the markup language page elements and the document structure metadata to reconstruct and display one or more pages of the document with page fidelity to the document.
