  Self interest alone should be driving educational institutions to move more strongly and quickly into web2.0 – “What appears to be emerging is industrial-scale computing — a standardized infrastructure for delivering computing power, network bandwidth, data storage and protection, and services. Comsumerization and industrialization beg the question “Is this the end of the middle?”; that is, what will be the role of “enterprise” IT in the future? Indeed, the bigger question is what will become of all of our intermediating institutions? This volume examines the impact of IT on higher education and on the IT organization in higher education.” via Stephen Downes
