This has been an ongoing topic for years.  Literally.  I've chalked it
up to a lost cause personally, but there have been some recent changes
to course online, maybe things have changed?

DePaul CTI IT seems to favor and only generally support Microsoft-oriented
technologies.  Historically the COL player and the recent changes to the CTI
web pages provide empirical evidence to demonstrate that.[1]

As an alternative, I strongly encourage you to plead with your instructors
to enable the podcast version of the lectures so you can at least download
an mp3.   I always enable it, but unfortunately most instructors either
don't seem to bother or are unwilling to open them up to be freely shared.
