Silverlight? Are these people serious? Whether you are an educational institution or a for-profit media company, you are trying to get to the largest number of people and cause them the fewest problems. Silverlight fails spectacularly at both those objectives.

Edit: I know there seems to be a flash player component as well, but it's failing for me and can't get to the .mp4. Which doesn't speak well of the joker who cobbled the site together either.

Especially when the target audience for such a class is probably likely to have an outsized portion of *nix users.

Stanford also uses Silverlight and Flash:

Maybe now it's considered as a "distant learning standard"?
