Seems to me the fundamental issue with VLEs is how to create systems that enhance all the good aspects of 'control' (quality, reliability, brand protection, intellectual property rights etc) without disempowering the learners and removing their ability to use and adapt tools flexibly.
Web 2.0 tools are all about user-control and adaptability - so the challenge for any institution that wants to be large scale is how to strike this balance between control and empowerment in their VLE.
