In this research, a systematic review of various bibliographic sources was carried out, with information and communication technologies (ICT), higher education and the COVID-19 context as variables. The objective of this article is to compile, analyze and expose the sources so that future researchers can feasibly find diverse theoretical resources for their research; in addition, they can find in a simple way how education is affected by COVID-19. For this purpose, research articles from various journals indexed in a database with a recognized academic value called Scopus were reviewed. The research methodology used was the PRISMA-2020 statement, which allows the selection of suitable articles based on three criteria: articles published between 2017 and 2022, published in Spanish or English, and that have considered higher education students or teachers as the object of study. There were initially 45 articles, of which, 15 met the selection criteria. Next, an arduous general and detailed analysis of each source was carried out to extract relevant information, such as concepts and descriptions of the subject matter. Finally, the results and conclusions will be presented in a discussion.
