Abstract
Access to educational opportunity is undoubtedly extended by the availability of open learning materials, learning communities and forms of open accreditation. However, there is limited evidence that access to these digital opportunities translates into educational success for those without other forms of educational, social and cultural capital. This Grand Challenge calls for a research agenda with two broad goals:
to identify and ameliorate the role TEL plays in various systemic inequalities we identify;
to identify and support responses on the part of educational organisations and actors that redress inequalities of educational participation and outcome.
