I agree entirely, but we should never forget that the teacher responsibility is to teach, and the student's responsibility is to learn. As a teacher an eLearning system is just a tool. The level of content managed and delivered by these systems may be instructional or educational. Is the teacher's responsibility to fill in the gaps by providing proper content. As a student an eLearning system is also just a tool. The quality of learning is own responsibility (or the tutor). As a student progresses on its learning path (autonomy) he needs to become more responsible about if he learns well, while teachers and tutors become less responsible of this fact.
