Abstract

A systematic review was carried out on the production and publication of research papers related to the study of Learning, Academic Performance and Higher Education Platforms, during the period between 2017 and 2022 by Latin American institutions under the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses) approach. The purpose of the analysis proposed in this document was to know the main characteristics of the publications registered in the Scopus and Wos databases during the study and their scope in the study of the proposed variables, achieving the identification of 51 publications in total. Thanks to this first identification, it was possible to refine the results through the keywords entered in the search button of both platforms, which were LEARNING PLATFORMS, ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE, HIGHER EDUCATION, reaching a total of 18 documents, excluding duplicates and those that did not meet the analysis criteria. The identified scientific publications were analyzed in order to know the main characteristics of digital strategies and the effectiveness of online learning platforms in the evaluation of academic performance in higher education from the Latin American perspective.
