If you've been facing challenges renewing your Microsoft Office license, there's a solution that's both legal and free. By creating a Microsoft Office account, which is available at no cost unless you require more than 5GB of storage, you gain access to a suite of applications including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. While these online versions offer slightly reduced functionality compared to their desktop counterparts, they still provide essential features for document creation and editing. Furthermore, documents created using these online tools are accessible across various devices. Creating new documents and accessing existing ones is simple through the Microsoft account landing page and OneDrive storage. This approach not only addresses licensing issues but also provides a valuable opportunity for students and educators to access productivity tools without financial barriers.

Peter Mellow's insight:
Am I missing something? Apart from a cutesy user interface, this appears to me to be a Q&A discussion forum over/around a video. I do like the in timeline comments (nod to Perusall!) but from the video on their website, it does not seem to me to be as 'interactive video' as Coursera/Hapyak or even H5P define it.
Perhaps there are features that they are not showing us, but there is not much info on the website. When I want to know about integration with Moodle, or prices I get shoved to a sales form? Might be good for school, but as it looks to me, a little lightweight for highered in its current state. The Emperor's New Clothes?

OpenStax, a nonprofit initiative founded by Rice professor Richard Baraniuk, has revolutionized education by providing free digital textbooks in subjects like physics, calculus, and psychology, accessible to students worldwide. Initially focused on curating resources, OpenStax shifted to content creation amid rising demand for affordable, high-quality materials during the Great Recession, publishing its first five textbooks in 2012. Now boasting a library of three dozen titles, OpenStax is credited with pioneering open educational resources (OER), disrupting traditional publishing and curbing skyrocketing textbook prices. While for-profit publishers attempt to recoup revenue through costly digital homework systems, some built around OpenStax materials, the nonprofit is challenging this model with its own affordable software, aiming to provide access to educational resources for just $10 per student, and continuing to shape the landscape of education.
