Open University

I have signed up for another Open University course. I’m a great fan of their teaching materials, at least the printed stuff. With their E303 course (English Grammar in Context), they include an ‘activities’ CD-ROM which achieves something quite incredible. It is a simple interactive presentation created in the Adobe Director. Director is a cross-platform tool and yet the OU’s presentation is Windows only. Not only that but it will run in XP but not in Windows Vista. I’ve been slow installing Windows 7 so I don’t know if it works in that, but I doubt it.
