Description

Online real-time shared whiteboard and teaching tool. Has real-time chat, tests, VLE and allows teachers to collaborate over presentations. You can set up a profile and try the tests before submitting. There is a forum where dates and times for sessions can be set up - US times make it a little awkward when you are told your live session is at 01.00am GMT! The layout for the whiteboard window allows for text chat, watching the video and sharing documents.

Accessibility Testing Results

The site offers users the chance to make accessible presentations although the editors and players are Flash based - the video can be provided with text transcriptions and chat to support users. It is not keyboard accessible in all browsers. The e-mail type forum is easy to use and most of the instructions are clear. Test questions are set with multiple choices which may not suit all learners but they are well laid out. The Captchas do have clearer text compared to most but are not screen readable. Text and colour contrasts are good.

#	Test	Score	Summary
1	Login, Signup and Other Forms Accessible		There are several captchas and some forms lack labels making registration difficult for screen reader users.
2	Image ALT Attributes		There are not many images that are critical and most do not need alternative tags as they are almost acting as a back ground to textual content.
3	Link Target Definitions		This site features ambiguous links which cannot be identified or distinguished by a screenreader.
4	Frame Titles and Layout		No frames or iframes, which can be disorientating for screen-readers, are used in the design.
5	Removal of Stylesheet		The page is still understandable and functional when it is viewed as a linear document, with no styles.
6	Audio/Video Features		Text descriptions are offered for multimedia content on this site.
7	Video/animations - audio descriptions		A type of audio description tends to be offered with media content on this site.
8	Appropriate use of Tables		Tables are used to construct this site - this may cause some screenreaders to read the content in the wrong order.
9	Tab Orderings Correct and Logical		Tab order is in a logical and consistent top-to-bottom or left-to-right format.
10	Page Functionality with Keyboard		Some non-critical functionality requires the use of a pointing device.
11	Accessibility of Text Editors		Text editor is not accessible with the screenreader or keyboard.
12	Appropriate Feedback with Forms		This site often provides suitable feedback.
13	Contrast and Colour Check		Poor contrast on tag clouds. Site otherwise acceptable.
14	Page Integrity when Zooming		The website maintains the layout and usability of all critical areas perfectly when zoomed.
15	Text size, style, blinking elements and Readability		The majority of text on the site is size ten, which is readable but may be uncomfortable for some.
