The Impact of Technology on Knowledge Retention: A Systematic Review

Innovative Technologies of the 21st century, such as Haptic technologies, 3D printing, Chatbot, data mining, and brain-based learning played an essential role in E-learning, and interactive teaching techniques to support student knowledge management and knowledge retention. This study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of five research articles published in the conference proceedings and journals. The main findings of this study indicate that among the technologies mentioned earlier, E-learning and virtual environments, where the most technologies studied in the field, have a significant impact on knowledge retention. Furthermore, questionnaires and actual tests for some technologies were the mainly used research method in data collection in the context of the effect of technology on knowledge retention. This study attempts to show the recent research progression made in studies considering the impact of technologies on knowledge retention. We used a systematic literature review (also known as a systematic review) to locate, review, and analyze all related studies on a specific research subject, topic field, or phenomenon of interest (Kitchenham et al., 2009).
