Description
Creates presentations on-line and allows sharing with the community. Interface allows import of images, video, text overlays, etc. Poor web form design, with little feedback when users make a mistake. Seems to be impossible to sign in when using IE6!
Accessibility Testing Results
The site was easy to use but not very keyboard accessible and some of the fonts were small especially the tags, however, zooming was good. The Flash editor and player is only usable with a keyboard in certain browsers such as Internet Explorer. Text offered in the original slides can be read by text to speech software within the Flash player.
