=========================================== *Overview* ----------------------------------------------------------- Open access to digital educational resources and tools (typically referred to as Open Educational Resources - OERs) and/or online courses (typically referred to as Massive Open Online Courses - MOOCs) has attracted significant attention worldwide from the different key stakeholders in Education and Training. Despite the fact that the open access movement in Education has the potential to lead a disruptive Social Innovation in teaching and learning (including assessing of learning as well as accreditation of competences and qualifications), concerns are expressed that it could also lead to deepen the digital divide between regions, states and continents. Ideally, unfolding the full potential of opening up education, anticipates not only the affordable availability and maintenance of efficient digital infrastructures, but mainly networks of people and professionals (representing the various existing key stakeholders in education, but also new ones emerged as a result of the transformations happening outside the formal educational settings) who are actively engaged in leading and supporting sustainable changes. Digital technologies are the key enabler for the anticipated social innovations in education and learning through the open access movement. Furthermore, new challenges for governments, educational institutes, non-profit organizations, the private sector, the unions of professionals in education and training, as well as, individual professionals and citizens, are shaped and fostering the scientific dialogue of different perspectives can contribute to the advancement of the public discourse in these pressing issues. This is the scope of this special issue on “the social innovation capacity of open education and learning”.
