In this investigator's opinion, word-processing and image-processing of words and graphics has moved somewhat clumsily to the Internet in "Web 2.0" web-sites. But it is the same-old text and staic graphics production process done by human beings, now with keyboard and a computer graphic drawing tools in their hands. Computers can do so much more, if and when more people know what can be demanded of them and of the people who operate and write computer programs for them.
Another problem is that typically for most school use and general public use, the static course web page content is vended to the users from one and only one "web 2.0" web site, also called a "content management system" (CMS), and also called a "Learning Management System" (LMS). As it has been for the last 10 years of what I call "first generation" education CMS sites, any two or more commercial proprietary CMSes typically do not integrate and work well -- or at all -- with each other. Transferring content from one CMS (or LMS) to another can be difficult or nearly impossible! And that create a coercive force which makes the CMS or LMS user population buy-in and "stick with" the chosen CMS in order to avoid the extreme pain of switching to another, better, and more recent CMS! And that process stifles innovation and delays the what some would say is the urgent need to get appropriate educational information to the students who need the material, the education, but often who also can least afford to get that education.
Thus in these ways a school or other training institution is forced by the so-called "free market place" in so called educational software to "buy-in" to one commercial or open source CMS,or LMS and "stick with it" for years to come. Then those users, instructors, administrators, and student, must learn how to use that software system well, which often takes months-to-years. Then the institutions' instructors and students become "invested" in using (aka inured to using) that particular CMS' or LMS' unique, not standardized, "User Interface" (UI), which is in effect an end-user-addiction created by the software system developers and vendors.  In short: as yet there are no "standard user interfaces" for CMS or LMS. And if there were, they would probably be mediocre... the "lowest common denominator" of the UIs of educational CMSes and LMSes that are "out there" in the "market place".
