For everyone that want to learn more about the fundamentals of change in research and education that happens right now, I will recommend the article written by Richard N. Katz. If you still want more perspectives continue with Don Tapscott and Anthony D. Williams.
Lawrence Lessig has also written an valuable article in Educause where he says that educators has to take more responsibility for what they are doing.
My own experience is: In Norway many people think that corruption is something that only resides in developing countries and that the educators should be the last to be corrupt. The more I learn about systemic failures in our own part of the world the more I feel that corruption is the same everywhere, it is just the expression that is different. Upton Sinclair wrote one time: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it."
A good friend of mine Junior Maih said this to me one time: solve your own problems before you try to solve ours. He is from Cameroon and he quoted the Bible and said: "And why worry about a speck in your friend's eye when you have a log in your own?" The truth in this is more than I thought.
