Abstract

In the African higher education landscape, the pervasive integration of Learning Management Systems (LMS) is reshaping the educational journey, offering both opportunities and challenges. This study delved into the intricate interplay between students’ engagement with LMS and its consequential impact on Learning Analytics (LA), specifically within the unique context of African higher education institutions. Employing the PRISMA systematic review approach, this research aimed to review significant work by researchers towards LMS and LA use in African universities in the form of contributing authors, keywords, citation statistics and growth patterns. The findings highlighted the transformative potential of LA and LMS use, which have the power to enhance both academic performance and the overall learning experience of African students. This research enhances the understanding of the complex relationship between LMS usage and LA in the African context, revealing how digital tools can address unique online learning challenges. As African institutions tackle 21st-century education challenges, this study provides a valuable roadmap for educators, administrators, and policymakers looking to leverage technology for meaningful educational outcomes. By contextualizing the findings within the African higher education landscape, this research contributes to the global discourse on the evolving role of digital platforms in shaping modern education. Keywords: Educational Technology, Digital Learning, Student Engagement, Learning Experience, Technology Integration
