Description

ESL teachers can link to videos on sites such as YouTube and create a set of questions related to it. Students watch the video and then attempt to answer the multiple-choice questions. Teachers can also write transcripts and notes. The creations can be embedded in other websites and blogs.

Accessibility Testing Results

Where text has been added as a transcript it is possible to the work with the questions in a Text Browser such as WebbIE but the order is not good and often the questions come last in the page. Keyboard access varies depending on the browser used and the type of Flash Player used (YouTube). The questions are accessible with a keyboard. The transcripts and notes are also accessible which is very helpful if the user has linked them to the video. Text size is small in places but zooming is good.
