Description

Might be called a mashup as it cobines slides with video - it allows upload of PowerPoint files to Slideshare and synchronisation to video uploaded to Google video - A good point is that you can upload text slides to work alongside the video - the first few lines can be viewed in a text browser.

Accessibility Testing Results

A useful tool but not very accessible for keyboard users and sadly hardly any labels exist to indicate where the play and share buttons are placed. Even in WebbIE this is an issue. Contrast levels vary and very much depend on the slides provided and which part of the website is being viewed.

# 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 Excellent Alternative text is offered for all critical images on the site - screenreader users will be able to understand the content as clearly as others.
3Link Target Definitions Excellent All links, including images which would otherwise be ambiguous, have titles to uniquely identify them.
4Frame Titles and Layout Excellent No frames or iframes, which can be disorientating for screen-readers, are used in the design.
5Removal of Stylesheet Excellent The page is still understandable and functional when it is viewed as a linear document, with no styles.
6Audio/Video Features Good This site offers a text descriptions via the PowerPoints linked to the audio in the video if a user wishes to use the site in this way.
