ab: Summary: 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.
