E-Learning for Secondary and Higher Education Sectors: A Survey

Electronic learning (e-learning) has gained reasonable acceptance from educational institutions at all levels. There are various studies conducted by researchers considering different aspects of e-learning to investigate how we can benefit in imparting quality education. However, there is a requirement to find out how researchers consider different sectors of secondary and higher education (HE) sectors. In this paper, we carefully select published research article of past six years and study how the research was conducted and which research methods are applied to attain results. We also investigate how case studies are presented for evaluating results. We finally present our findings from conducting this study of e-learning research at secondary and the higher education levels.
