Keywords:

This study aims to analyze the effect of e-learning on the quality of learning in higher education institutions. E-learning has become an essential component of modern education, especially with the rapid development of digital technology and the increasing demand for flexible learning systems. The method used in this research is a qualitative approach with a literature review design by analyzing various relevant previous studies related to e-learning and learning quality in higher education. The data were collected from scientific journal articles and academic publications. The findings indicate that e-learning has a positive effect on the quality of learning in higher education by improving student engagement, accessibility of learning materials, and learning flexibility. However, several challenges were also identified, such as limited digital infrastructure, varying levels of digital literacy among students and lecturers, and lack of interaction in some online learning environments. In conclusion, e-learning significantly contributes to improving the quality of learning in higher education when it is supported by adequate technology, effective instructional design, and strong institutional support.
