Reminds me of an on-line course I did recently through the British
Columbia Institute of Technology.  Going in, the course outline was sent
to the class as a Word .doc with macros that my OpenOffice.org handled
rather poorly.

I prodded at the 'access to education' angle from time-to-time and by
the time the course was done the instructor was sending things in html.

Also introduced the class to md5sums when handing in my group's final
assignment.  Got %110! :-)

Cheers,
Ian Stephen
