Abstract

In recent years, e-learning has become pivotal in higher education sectors. Researchers are correlating novel approaches with e-learning to facilitate education. However, despite the increase in e-learning research, there is still a lack of comprehensive literature analysis of e-learning in the higher education sector. Thus, this study aims to conduct a systematic literature review of the literature on e-learning in higher education. This study classifies the selected studies according to the focus of the study, utilizes a theoretical model and framework, and research methods. Also, it presents limitations and future research directions of e-learning in the higher education sector. A systematic approach is conducted, and a total of 47 relevant articles published between the year 2011 and 2019 were selected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The findings on selected studies focus on the adoption, acceptance, readiness, and user insight, as well as e-learning expansion and challenges in the higher education sector. This study also classified theoretical models and frameworks based on their usage in the pre-adoption, adoption, and post-adoption stages. The findings revealed that most of the theoretical models and frameworks were used at the post-adoption stage. Nevertheless, this study revealed that most of the current studies in this domain were conducted using a quantitative research approach. Finally, this study highlighted limitations and presented possible future research directions as a guide for further enhancement in e-learning and higher education studies.
