Lalu Sibuan Amir, Ni Putu Rai Yuliartini

Abstract


Abstract: This study is a systematic literature review aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of utilizing online learning platforms to enhance educational access in remote areas. Literature sources for this review were obtained from the Scopus, DOAJ, and Google Scholar indexes, spanning the last 10 years, from 2013 to 2024. The findings indicate that technology, represented by online platforms, plays a transformative role in distance education. It not only addresses challenges arising from geographical limitations but also contributes to the overall improvement of teaching methodologies, technological proficiency, and educational outcomes in remote areas. The accumulated body of research positions technology, specifically online learning platforms, as a valuable instrument in addressing challenges related to distance education. The emphasis on the flexibility and adaptability of these platforms is particularly underscored during crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, the literature also emphasizes the importance of maintaining high-quality distance learning experiences and ensuring robust interactions between students and teachers.
