dc.description.abstract | Open educational resources (OERs) provide opportunities as enablers of societal development, but they also
create new challenges. From the perspective of content providers and educational institutions, particularly,
cultural and context-related challenges emerge. Even though barriers regarding large-scale adoption of
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
interventions for overcoming the related barriers. These consequences are vital for OER initiatives and
educational institutions for aligning their efforts on OER. | |
