Summary/Abstract: Digitalization process enables wide use of modern technologies in various segments of everyday life. One of the areas in which the application of digital technologies is of increasing importance is education. In addition to the classroom and traditional forms of teaching, we are increasingly witnessing the use of digital platforms and various tools, especially within certain forms of distance learning. Unfortunately, we have seen that digital education is not just a matter of choice, but sometimes, due to the crisis circumstances, a matter of necessity. Each form of teaching implies the use of copyrighted works and other protected subject matter. Therefore, teaching in general, and distance education in particular, opens up a whole range of copyright-related questions. One of the key issues that are the subject of consideration in the paper is whether and to what extent it is possible to use protected content for teaching purposes, especially in the online environment.If the teaching takes place through certain online content sharing platforms,the question of service provider liability for possible copyright infringement arises. There is a special form of copyright exceptions or limitations for the purpose of teaching, but it is not appropriate for digital teaching in all countries. Directive on copyright and related rights in the Digital Single Market prescribes copyright exception or limitation in order to allow the digital use of works and other subject matter in digital and cross-border teaching activities. The paper analyzes certain copyright exceptions and limitations for the purpose of education in domestic law and in European Union law.
