Abstract
Advance in technologies has revolutionized the traditional mode of teaching and learning. Various media authoring systems have been developed in order to enhance the effectiveness of learning and teaching processes by supplementing traditional teaching materials such as text books and lecture notes with interactive digital media. In this paper, we are going to discuss two media authoring systems, KooBits and Web 2.0 Media Publisher, which incorporate creativity, innovation and cutting-edge technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX). The major part of KooBits system is a client based e-book editor that is specifically designed to enhance interactivity, while Web 2.0 Media Publisher is a server based publishing platform. This paper describes various features, design consideration, implementation of KooBits and Web 2.0 Media Publisher, and compares them with other existing systems in terms of these aspects. Possible future developments for KooBits and some applications for Web 2.0 Media Publisher are also being discussed in the end.
