Abstract
Mobile learning (m-learning) offered opportunities for learning before COVID-19 disease (COVID-19) but experienced a significant surge in usage since learning moved to the homes. This systematic review collates studies published between 2020 and 2021 to understand the impact, challenges, opportunities, and gaps in m-learning during COVID-19. The key findings from the 26 papers reveal the extent to which many families, educators, and governments were caught off guard, some glaring family challenges, and social and digital divides inscribed in technology infrastructure, especially in developing countries. M-learning assumes adequate internet and digital technology infrastructure which means that developing countries continue to be affected the most. A research agenda is created for how m-learning can be better leveraged for future disruptions.
