The International Journal of Learning Technology (IJLT) is new and has a few useful articles in it. Of especial interest is the article by Oleg Liber who as part of his inaugural lecture in May 2003 looked at the relationship between cybernetics, e-learning and the education system.
After a run around some of the models of educational organisation (some of which should be recognisable from WEPAP) he goes onto discuss the role of elearning. One paragraph stands out in which he states that while "VLEs at first seemed to offer new possibilities for learning ... the widespread adoption of VLEs by colleges and universities has seen the emergence of market leaders that while certainly providing for new models of access, do not promote pedagogical diversity, instead opting for an online version of the traditional delivery model."
While the paper emphasises the problems of elearning within the structured educational system I found it quite positive.
