The development of education in the world today is inseparable from the development of educational technology and learning technology. Technology that most people understand today is a tool or media, but in reality, this is not the case. The Association for Educational Communication and Technology (AECT), which was founded in 1963 and operated until 2004, and definitions offered by experts are examples of how understanding or definition of learning technology is constantly evolving. There is no need to distinguish between the terms educational technology and learning technology because they can both be used interchangeably depending on the situation. This paper aims to provide clarity about the understanding of the learning technology area. The method used is the systemic literature review. Based on the findings of the literature review, it can be said that the field of learning technologies is separated into five areas: design, utilization, development, management, and assessment. The design section includes the creation of learning systems, messages, learning strategies, and learning characteristics. Media use, innovation diffusion, implementation and institutions, policies, and regulations are all areas of utilization. Print technology, audiovisual technology, computer-based technology, and integrated technology are the categories into which the development area is split. The management field includes project management, resource management, delivery system management, and information management. Problem analysis, benchmark reference measurement, formative evaluation, and summative evaluation comprise the assessment area. There is a synergistic interaction between the two areas. One area with another area has a synergistic relationship.
