Web 2.0 Service
Test Average: 47%
Updated 10 August 2009

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.

# Test Score Summary
1Login, Signup and Other Forms Accessible Poor There are no labels for forms within this product - this may create problems with some screenreaders.
2Image ALT Attributes Poor This site does not have alternative text for critical images. The understanding of content by screenreader users may differ.
3Link Target Definitions Poor This site features ambiguous links which cannot be identified or distinguished by a screenreader.
4Frame Titles and Layout Excellent No frames or iframes, which can be disorientating for screen-readers, are used in the design.
5Removal of Stylesheet Good The page loses some of its non-critical functionality when the stylesheet is removed.
6Audio/Video Features Good Text descriptions can be set for multimedia items created on this site. Captions would have to be already available in uploaded videos.
7Video/animations - audio descriptions Good Text descriptions can be added and audio descriptions could also be added as part of the music stream.
8Appropriate use of Tables Excellent Tables are not used for the design of this website.
9Tab Orderings Correct and Logical Good The login form is a javascript element that appears on the current page - this may result in strange tab orders.
10Page Functionality with Keyboard Poor This site is built using Flash components, which are not usable without a pointing device.
11Accessibility of Text Editors Poor Text editor is not accessible with the screenreader or keyboard.
12Appropriate Feedback with Forms Good The signin screen jumps to a section on the page without notifying the user why. Reading order is therefore not good for a screen reader user.
13Contrast and Colour Check Fair Poor contrast on many headings and buttons.
14Page Integrity when Zooming Excellent The website maintains the layout and usability of all critical areas perfectly when zoomed.
15Text size, style, blinking elements and Readability Fair Particularly small text prevalent throughout the site, which may be difficult to view without zooming the page.
