In general, technology has the potential to mitigate the impact of Covid-19 on the educational system, which is a critical step toward moving away from large crowds; learning at school, meeting the teacher and classmates; and toward the distance, learning methods to prevent the spread of viruses that harm human health and kill people. Meanwhile, technology has been perceived as displacing the learning process, which has never stopped and will never cease until now. School activities and meetings are temporarily halted to prevent the virus from infecting humans. Therefore, the study is conducted to review past literature on the adaptation of technologies and their impact on online teaching and learning classes. To improve the efficacy of online distance learning, academic institutions should provide free programs, software, and other online tools for all academic communities. Thus, comprehensive government involvement is required to ensure all individuals have access to high-speed Internet and other relevant services. Additionally, the reviews can give more insights for teachers and learners to practice interesting digital learning tools in their teaching and learning classes in the future.
