You are absolutely right: LCDS content is not working on mac. And this is indeed a drawback, unless you are distributing the content in an enterprise environment where you know all computers are running the same (windows) configuration. For the alt text issue: I am observing the same thing. I guess this is a bug, because the alt text is showing on the navigation buttons, and on some graphics, not on others.

I myself have been harping on an Apple-LCDS question since coming upon Microsoft's LCDS (which you discuss on your site): The LCDS does not play/run/open on MAC computers (Apple). OR DOES IT? Only students using Windows and Vista OS computers can take an LCDS course(?) Isn't that a huge drawback that should be noted in any evaluation of LCDS as a teaching tool? (To warn MAC users, I mean.) (2) I tried writing a course using LCDS and the "hover caption"("ALT TEXT") works/appears in the course preview feature BUT when the course is published/opened on the web browser (by a third party user), the hover captions all disappear. Do you know why? How can that happen (ie. something shows up on the "Preview" but will not carry through to the browser)? Anyway, thanks for your website. I definitely can learn a lot from your sharing your experiences/expertise. And now I have someone (you) to talk to about these little things I am discovering. Cheryl in Canada Dear Jan:
