[nabs-l] how accessible is the website turnitin?

[Kaiti Shelton]

Hi,
The upload part of the site is fine, but peer-marking will not work
and is totally inaccessible.

I'd suggest letting your teacher know that this is something you can't
do with your screenreader, and try to work something out by emailing
the essay with comments and such to the other student or teacher (if
you're doing an annonymous peer-edit thing), or dropbox or something
accessible.
