OERs are widely discussed, empirical evidence for determining challenges in relation to particular contexts
is still rare. Such context-specific barriers generally can jeopardize the acceptance of OERs and, in
particular, social OER environments. We conducted a large-scale (N = 855) cross-European investigation in
the school context to determine how teachers and learners perceive cultural distance as a barrier against the
use of social OER environments. The findings indicate how nationality and age of the respondents are
strong predictors of cultural distance barrier. The study concludes with identification of context-sensitive
