Have you looked at what can be done with the (free) starter kit? Once you get a handle on how Revolution works, ten command lines isn't nearly as restrictive as it sounds. 

Especially in the case where you're creating content and curricular materials, I'm betting that's not program-structure-heavy in the first place.

Remember that the starter kit is free for unlimited use -- there's no time-out, and you can even produce standalones with it. So in the case of teachers working on course material, if they had a licensed copy at the school and the starter kit at home, they could easily transfer their work between the two, and the only limitation would be on the complexity of the scripting they could do at home.
