Abstract-Compared to traditional education resource, Interactive Education Resource (IER) includes dynamic content to interact with users in order to enhance comprehension. The contents of IERs are relatively complex because of its dynamic feature. Exploring IERs and understanding its content during resource search become time-consuming. In this paper, we propose a preview generation approach based on automated software testing and image processing. Our approach first analyzes IERs to collect interactive elements and the event list. Based on the interaction related information, our approach simulates user actions and record snapshots step by step. Our approach compares snapshots to generate an image including the basic content, interaction region and dynamic contents. The image is used as the overall preview and the animation of snapshots collected during simulation is used as detail preview of the IER. In the experiment, we evaluate the completeness, correctness, and comprehension of the preview. The experiment result shows that the preview can be used to provide most information in the resource correctly and easy to understand. Our approach can save time for users in understanding the IERs.

“…Isaacs et al (2002) introduced Hubbub, a sound-enhanced mobile instant messaging client, aiming at increasing background awareness by providing audio clues. Sahami et al (2010) investigated the impact of abstracted audio preview of SMS. The authors report that this type of preview affects the reading and writing behavior of users -however the approach focuses on simple notification tones only.…”

Sonification of text messages offers a great potential for personalization while at the same time allowing rich information to be mediated. For example, ringtones are the major form of personalization on smartphones besides apps and background images. Ringtones are often used as a form of selfexpression by the smartphone owner (e.g., using ones favorite sound track as standard ringtone), but also to identify the caller or sender of a message (e.g., the user knows who is calling without taking the phone out of the pocket). We believe this approach to be applicable to a wide variety of text messages, such as SMS, email, or IM. In this paper, we first present a web-based platform that allows usergenerated mappings for text sonification to be created and managed. An API enables any application to send a text message and receive the sonification in the form of a MIDI file. To showcase the potential, we implemented an Android app that sonifies incoming SMS. Second, we evaluate the feasibility of our approach and show that sonified messages are equally effective as ringtones when conveying meta information.

Mobile phones offer great potential for personalization. Besides apps and background images, ringtones are the major form of personalization. They are most often used to have a personal sound for incoming texts and calls. Furthermore, ringtones are used to identify the caller or sender of a message. In parts, this function is utilitarian (e.g., caller identification without looking at the phone) but it is also a form of self-expression (e.g., favorite tune as standard ringtone). We investigate how audio can be used to convey richer information. In this demo we show how sonifications of SMS can be used to encode information about the sender's identity as well as the content and intention of a message based on flexible, user-generated mappings. We present a platform that allows arbitrary mappings to be managed and apps to be connected in order to create a sonification of any message. Using a background app on Android, we show the utility of the approach for mobile devices.
