Analysis and Prospects of International E-learning Research Hotspots

Abstract

Using the Web of Science database as a literature source and Citespace to analyze the 592 selected literatures, first of all, we find that Spain has become one of the most influential countries in the field of E-learning. Then, by clustering analysis, we find that the main research hotspots in E-learning are Universal Design for Learning, Teacher Training, Technology Acceptance Model and Ubiquitous Learning. We also analyze the representative research themes in the field of E-learning. The future picture of E-learning is envisioned, namely, integration of inclusion and personalization, acceptance of diversity and complexity, reaffirmation of humanity and equity and moving towards AI and ubiquity.
