ABSTRACT
Abstract: Educational platforms and applications had begun to arise in the last decade, improving in many cases the learning experience for students and teachers alike. In a world where the norm seems to be centered around the digital, the learning process has been moving towards a more blended experience, incorporating traditional and digital teaching methods; and since the COVID-19 pandemic, these learning experience, in most cases, has transitioned to a full digital experience. Online classes and virtual teaching methodologies had been adopted to confront these challenges, and learning platforms such as Moodle had been used to enhance the quality of the learning process, adapting this tool with strategies that look to in a way that it further improves the students’ engagement and motivation in said process. This paper reviews previous knowledge in the impact Moodle has over students’ engagement and motivation regarding the learning process. For this research, databases such as Scopus, IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library and ScienceDirect were used, finding as many as 7,626 articles across all platforms, filtering up to 20 eligible articles due to their affinity with the subject at hand. From this Systematic Literature Review, it was concluded that using interactive tools such as Moodle may have a positive impact improving student's motivation, although other strategies may be recommended in regards to keep students’ engagement in the learning process.
