Description

Users can upload photos then annotate them with drawings and text bubbles, talk has also been included with the update. The site maintains lists of popular creations and this could be a very good way of introducing the concept of cartoons with text captions, drawings or photos with a chosen layout and font art.

Accessibility Testing Results

It is easy to use but there are areas that can cause confusion such as the login and the way elements load without warning. The feedback can be in very small text that is not resizeable with zoom as it comes as an overlay on the Flash editor. Both the editor and player are hard to reach with a keyboard in some browsers and do not work well in text only browsers such as WebbIE
