Write to the university and let them know that despite their terrific efforts to write an accessible, standards-compliant website, the lectures themselves are dependent on expensive, insecure software and they are preventing you from completing your degree. Furthermore, by creating a dependence on this expensive software they are encouraging software piracy, lax computer security, and disregard of standards. Is that to be expected of a respected university?
