Mapping the Landscape: A Bibliometric Analysis of Online Learning in Higher Education

Abstract

E-learning is now a requirement in all educational institutions, including schools, colleges, and universities, because of the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. The use of online learning methods requires teachers and students to adapt to maintain business as usual despite several challenges. Additionally, it alters how students behave. Some of them struggle with anxiety and sadness. This essay investigates how behavior of students is affected by online learning. Teaching staff, including parents, recommend that the government sector take initiatives to assist students who have limited access to the internet and devices—which are the primary requirements to be able to participate in online classes—while also boosting student engagement in virtual learning, particularly during this crucial pandemic.
