I think there's something to this paper, and I spent quite a bit of time with it, but it really needs to be clearer (expunge writing like this: "whereas businesses transformed their systems and practices through embracing the potential of technologies, educational systems did not"). Also, I think the frameworks for mapping the tools and pedagogical principles need to be rethought - the former, because the dimensions depicted (such as individual to social, information to experience) are not linear; and the latter, because the categories (evidence and demonstration, or experience and activity) are not cohesive. It still remains true that "there has never been a closer alignment between the current practices of Web 2.0 technologies and what is put forward as good pedagogy" while at the same time "there is an inherent tension between the rhetoric of Web 2.0 and current educational practises."
