Abstract


E-learning has emerged as a modern and widely adopted method of education that utilizes electronic systems for educational programs. Its popularity stems from its affordability, flexibility, and ability to transcend geographical boundaries. However, challenges exist in implementing e- learning through mobile technologies due to inadequate infrastructure and support. As the demand for accessible and adaptable learning methods increases, researchers and educators must optimize the online learning experience and address associated challenges. Qualitative and quantitative research methods have been employed to study e-learning, offering in-depth understanding and objective measurements. This article presents a scoping review of qualitative and quantitative research in the context of e- learning, highlighting their respective strengths and limitations. The findings illustrate the diverse range of topics explored through these methods, demonstrating their value in enhancing e-learning practices and interventions. By combining qualitative and quantitative approaches, researchers.
