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.

“…Figueiredo et al (2009) find other barriers, like that companies tend to supply too many ESMPs, leading to that employees are not familiar with the tools available and even what they are for. Onyechi and Abeysinghe (2009) conducted a survey among employees in two large companies where they addressed the ways organization evaluate the adoption of an ESMP. The analysis showed challenges, like that protecting and securing internal business information supersedes adoption of ESMPs.…”

The internet revolution has provided valuable opportunities for businesses. Recently, emerging Web applications, known as Web 2.0, have been introduced by organisations into the workplace. This has resulted in the emergence of the idea of Enterprise Web 2.0. The business use of Enterprise Web 2.0 within organisations could enhance employees' collaborative work. Despite this valuable benefit, the adoption of Enterprise Web 2.0 by employees is a challenging and lengthy process. Enterprise Web 2.0 is a community-based application where a group of employees interact with each other while using the application: the more employees who adopt Enterprise Web 2.0, the higher the chance that these technologies will succeed. Hence, investigating employees' adoption of Enterprise Web 2.0 is important. Using a qualitative approach, this paper explores how developing an Enterprise Web 2.0 strategy can encourage and facilitate its smooth adoption.
