Literature Review

Literature Review Assignment

In this assignment you will review the published literature on the topics and write a

literature review that synthesizes what you have found into a summary of what is, and

is not, known on the topic.

To do:

Find at least 10 articles related to your chosen topic. To qualify as a source of information

that you can use for the assignment, these main articles must report results of research

studies (i.e. not just authors’ opinions). Each article must also:

 Have been published in a refereed journal or conference proceedings (though you

may obtain the article through an online source)

 Have an extensive references section.

In addition, you may choose to supplement these articles with a few articles from other sources

or that do not present the authors’ own results.

After reading each article, you should think about how they all fit together. Your review should

be organised by concepts, such as findings, rather than by sources of information. Do not

proceed through the articles one-by-one. Your literature review should include an introduction,

a main body that reviews the literature (and which you should subdivide further), and a

conclusion.

Format guidelines

 Give your literature review a title that clearly reflects the content of your review.

 Include an Introduction section that states the purpose of the review and a Conclusion

section. Include other sub-sections to help structure your work.

 Use a professional looking font and a font size of 11 or 12 point.

 Your review should be approximately +/- 1500 words excluding the reference section in

length.

 Include appropriate citations throughout the review and a list of references at the end.

Referencing should be in either APA or IEEE style

 Your review should include a minimum of 10 sources of information.

 Your Sources must be found in Academic Source (e.g. Google Scholar)

 Report must be fluent and structured (correct grammar, spell-checked, correctly

punctuated, paragraphing, topic sentences and flow of ideas)

Topic will be covering:

 The effectiveness of e-learning on student performance- Education is increasingly

supported by ICT, with the term e-learning being used as a general term to refer to many

forms of technology supported learning. Much of the e-learning research has had a

technology focus (e.g. descriptions of implementations) or has been limited to studies of

adoption (i.e. will people use it?), but there has been less research on the impact of

implementing e-learning as well as the outcome of student between the use of e-

learning, traditional learning (face-to-face) and blended learning.
