Thanks for the Warning...

Today Sarah Lohnes points to the CTELL project site.

an on-going research effort to develop and study the use of multimedia cases of best practice instruction for pre-service education in early literacy.

I am familiar with the project and have worked with one of the principal investigators, Don Leu. I was surprised though when I visited the site and discovered the pages could only be viewed with a Microsoft browser. (click the screen shot to see what was displayed)

I can't really understand why a project such as this would limit itself to being viewed only by a certain browser, and also only on devices that Microsoft supports. This not only locks out folks who don't run Microsoft browsers (Lynix, Safari, Mozilla...) but also folks who use Palm handhelds and cell phones. More and more I view web content not on a computer but on other devices. My Nokia 3650 does a pretty good job of displaying web content. Can't understand why they would do that...
