The description offered by the QIAT author states " A VERY 'easy to use' web service.  Send voice emails to a select group -
people who are signed up in your specific group.  A 'safe' and easy way for
students to send and receive voice emails.  Yack Pack is ideal for many
lower cognitive functioning students.  It is a CLOSED voice email system.
This means that only people who are part of the 'group' on yackpack can
receive or send voice email to each other.  The icons are large and simple
to use.  Large, clear buttons for record, play and send.  Images of people
in the group can be shown on the screen.  This is an amazing site for our
students.   It almost looks as if it was designed for the special needs of
students at a lower cognitive functioning level. "
