Abstract

COVID-19 has forced HEIs to rethink instructional methodologies. In emergencies, colleges substituted information for face-to-face education. Mobile information is a teaching technique with several educational tools. This content analysis aims to classify: 1) explore subjects; 2) applicable hypotheses; 3) most scrutinised methodologies; 4) methods of investigation. The PRISMA results were observed inside this case, and various techniques for text classification and textual analysis were used. The literature was chosen from three journals of first-quartile specialising in educational technology that were indexed in JCR-SSCI. The final sample consisted of 248 papers. Three key nodes emerged from the text analysis: 1) virtual students; 2) digital instructors; 3) instructional practices with a program. The most-studied information medium is MOOCs. Innovative acceptance model and context of interest were most widely employed hypotheses. Case studies were most popular. Finally, we present our SRL's aims. The study focuses on the most explored information modality, essential e-learning theoretical structures, and research methodology typologies.
