This paper examines the nature of exceptions and limitations in copyright law for the purposes of the use of copyrighted materials for education. It looks at the existing national and international regime, and argues for why there is a need for greater exceptions and limitations to address the needs of developing countries. The paper contextualizes the debate by looking at the high costs of learning materials and the impediment caused to e-learning and distance education by strong copyright regimes.

The presentation focuses on a number of interrelated aspects of distance education. Firstly, the aspects of accessibility of college higher education is discussed, which is promoted by the documents of Bologna process and legal acts of the Republic of Lithuania. The development of distance education is emphasised through an expansion of variety of e-learning forms. Secondly, the activities and goals of study divisions and centres of distance education in Lithuanian colleges are presented comprehensively. The presentation examines similarities and differences of e-learning in private and state colleges. Thirdly, referring to e-learning it is necessary to discuss curriculum quality aspects. Therefore, the analysis of structure of learning materials used in distance studies is presented, which focuses on how and to what extent the presented obligatory and additional tasks develop students’ critical thinking and their ability to involve in studies consistently and self-dependently. Educological aspects of e-learning materials are also discussed. Taking into account the problem areas of the conducted analysis, suggestions regarding improvement of e-learning materials to meet requirements imposed on higher education for development of students’ generic and subject specific competences are provided. Generalising, it can be stated that accessibility of higher education is improved employing a wider variety of e-learning forms. However, the quality of curriculum should be also ensured.

Abstract Distance learning and e-learning have significantly developed in recent years. It is also due to changing educational requirements, especially for adults. The article aims to show the advantages and disadvantages of distance learning. Examples of the 20-year use of the distance learning form of computer science describe the difficulties associated with the implementation and implementation of this form of teaching. The results of students in the full-time and distance form of teaching in the bachelor’s study of computer science are compared. Long-term findings show that distant students have significantly lower scores in the first years of study than full-time bachelor students. In the following years of study, the differences diminish, and students’ results are comparable. The article describes the possibilities of improving the quality of distance learning.
