Abstract

Among various factors influencing the process of public agenda setting one can place also the results of increasing number and quality of open educational resources. Self-education with the use of distance-learning facilities plays increasing role in framing the reception of main issues present in the public sphere via media and public institutions. One of side-effects of broader implementation of distance learning in modern countries is the impact that it has on the reduction of negative effects of social exclusion. The paper will present the mechanisms of this phenomenon and will place it within the second level of agenda-setting theory.
