Abstract: This article addresses the challenges of knowledge management in distance education at higher education institutions. Remote teaching has necessitated changes in knowledge delivery methods. Closely linked to the new digitalized environment, online teaching has transitioned to a new educational paradigm. The article presents research findings on the challenges of maintaining motivation in distance learning and examines whether there is a relationship between motivation and factors such as gender and study level. The aim is to identify the challenges faced by students and provide recommendations to effectively support student engagement and assist them in the learning process. The first part outlines the theoretical foundations of distance education. The subsequent section explores the challenges students encounter during independent distance learning. A social research method using a questionnaire (CAWI) was employed. Respondents included full-time and part-time undergraduate (bachelor's/engineering) and graduate (master's) students. The study was conducted between July and December 2024, with 230 students participating. The results concerning the analyzed variables are presented and discussed
