Emerging approaches of artificial intelligence tools for distance learning: a review

Abstract

Learning management system (LMS) is the best way to deliver educational content in the context of higher education, by settings students worldwide with high-quality educational material. This paper principally seeks to examine the use of e-learning platforms in the last years from 2019 to 2023, which has coincided with the pandemic period, by elucidating the benefits and limitations of e-learning platforms, analyzing the real-world artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms used and their operating context. A comprehensive literature search was conducted on different electronic databases to identify relevant studies related to e-learning and AI tools used during this period by applying inclusion, exclusion criteria and preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis (PRISMA) process. Based on this review the tools were necessary social media and free communication platforms that offer the flexibility and build autonomy to students. On the other hand, many challenges are arisen due to the lack of experience in the term of using those tools or due to technical problems, for this reason, the use of AI tools to enhance learning experience still one of the approved solutions.
