We presented them as E-learning 2.0 since we are designing them on Moodle with a flexible, interactive approach trying to bring the full potential of the Web 2.0 to the learning experience.

To our surprise, the article was “improperly” edited and our names, simply, removed. Luckily, today I was able to find  the full version of our article, which was published in a smaller newspaper that is distributed in neighboring cities.

The whole episode made me reflect on the concept of Internet transparency I’ve recently read about. Journalist Mark Tapscott has said that the Internet revolution is forcing transparency, stressing the importance of bloggers and their capacity to enhance transparency and freedom of expression.(Noticias sobre Internet)

Here are the two articles (in Spanish). Can you spot the differences?

TGIT ( Thank God for Internet Transparency) ;)
