“…Students noted the complexity of usage and the need for additional skills and technical support. These factors are important for the effectiveness of platforms and are the first step in the success of their integration into the educational process (Barteit et al, 2020). Like other studies (Chivu et al, 2018) we confirm that the e-learning system is an advantage in learning, but still exists opportunities for improvement of technological solutions in the educational process.…”

“…This investigation is based on the methodology of studying the effectiveness of distance learning platforms at higher educational institutions, which are presented in the works of Moreno et al (2016) and Barteit et al (2020). The study of the effectiveness of distance learning platforms in 90% of cases is conducted on the basis of one, two or three research methods, among which the survey predominates (47% among 52 studies) in the form of: Berlin questionnaire, System Usability Scale, the course experience questionnaire (CEQ), a teaching performance indicator for higher education or adapted other validated questionnaires.…”

“…E-learning platforms are a great addition to university environment by allowing them to access and read the materials of curriculum at any time, and anywhere, and that they no longer feel connected with this obligatory physics during the classroom, managing to combine studies with a job. Barteit et al (2020) The study was conducted on the basis of a meta-analysis of 52 publications for the period of 2007-2017 with a total sample of 12294 participants.…”

“…Taking into consideration the deficiency of studies on the effectiveness of the use of distance learning platforms in middle-income countries, the need arises to conduct an investigation aimed at eliminating the existing imbalance. This problem is exacerbated by the use of qualitative research methods (Barteit et al, 2020;Benta, Bologa  Dzitac, 2015;Pino, Mora, Diaz, Guarnizo  Jaimes, 2017), which are characterized by a high level of subjectivity. Recent researches on the issue of E-learning have been focused on the types of distance platforms (Mikheeva, 2019).…”

The growing role of distance learning platforms at higher educational institutions in developing countries, and the inadequate study of their effectiveness have necessitated the elimination of this imbalance. An additional problem in studying the issue of platforms’ effectiveness is the limitation of studies, which is based on qualitative methods of assessing the effectiveness. The quantitative assessment of the effectiveness and level of satisfaction with the implementation of distance learning platforms at higher educational institutions has been conducted in this academic paper. The assessment has been conducted using the System Usability Scale (SUS) to assess the Usability of the Moodle remote platform in Ukraine and the User Satisfaction Questionnaire (USQ) to assess students’ satisfaction. The article proves the connection between the Usability of the distance learning platform and the level of satisfaction with its use. This provides an opportunity to improve the problem areas of the Usability platform in order to increase the efficiency of its use. The following effects of application have been revealed, namely: increase of internal motivation, involvement in the learning process, level of satisfaction from courses and training programs (curricula), recognition of homework’s importance, increased interest in subjects, and students’ self-efficacy. Effective communication and quick response, an automatic control system are factors that contribute to the introduction of modern distance learning platforms in the educational process of HEI. The important elements of the effectiveness of distance learning platforms in the educational process of HEI are interactivity, simplicity, convenience, the speed of student-teacher interaction, platform flexibility, and quality control.

“…Barteit et al. (2020) conducted a systematic review of e‐learning interventions for medical education in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs). They pointed the lack of high‐quality research in this area and emphasized the need for more rigorous methods of evaluating the interventions, which would lead to a better assessment of medical e‐learning and improved medical care In (LMICs).…”

Although scientific production alone cannot be regarded as a definite mark of comprehensive scientific growth and development, many R&D decisions today are in fact based on mapping and measuring the countries' scientific output. In view of its dynamic nature and its direct link to technology and scientific development, Social media has emerged as an important area of science and is offered as an academic discipline in universities up to the doctoral level. Today, the development of Social media and social policy plays a decisive role in the development of scientific knowledge, and the research activities in this field have progressed in parallel with the activities in other disciplines. The researchers in this field have published a substantial number of scholarly papers in credible scientific databases, which have over time led to the formation of its scientific structure. Mapping the scientific and social structure of this field presents a valuable source of information about the position of each of its subfields, signifying its overall power (Negahban & Mohammadyan, 2014).Map of science deals with the development and application of computational techniques to the visualization, analysis, and modeling of a broad range of scientific and technological activities as a whole. A science map provides an overview of the scientific landscape which AbstractThis study investigated the scientific map and thematic structure of Social media.It is a scientometrics research, using quantitative method and citation analysis. In order to draw a scientific map of the research literature in the field of Social media, the data were extracted from the Web of Science database within a specified time period. The retrieved records were formatted using WC10.exe conversion software and were then mapped using VOSviewer software. The findings revealed a growing trend in the number of articles published in the field of Social media, and this number increases on an annual basis. The most widely used subject areas in the field of Social media were identified. High-frequency keywords such as Social media, education, sociology, social justice, women studies, and psychiatry are the newly emerging and active concepts in this field. Regarding the widely used subject areas in the field of Social media, it was noted that the two areas of Social media and education are ranked first and second as the most frequently used terms. In this study, by the conceptual map found in the field of Social media, it can be concluded that the concepts are highly interconnected. Furthermore, by the interconnectivity and closeness of centrality measures of social concepts illustrated in the provided map, it can be argued that the highest values are attributed to the subject areas of Social media and education.
