Findings: The results show significant methodological discrepancies with respect to the established criteria. Five blocks of action are apparent: technical issues, influence on learning, impact on satisfaction and motivation, impact on communicative processes and new forms of interaction. Originality/value: The value of this research lies on offering a critical view based on an in-depth analysis of the existing scientific production between ML and communication in education.
