Abstract: The integration of digital technologies in rural areas of Ecuador has revealed problems related to a lack of technological literacy and infrastructure. This study, based on a systematic review of 20 documents obtained from databases such as Google Scholar and Redalyc, analyzes the main challenges and opportunities of digital education in these communities. Five key areas are identified: the digital divide, the need for teacher training, the development of digital skills, technological accessibility, and public policies. The results indicate that digital literacy is fundamental for social inclusion and economic development, highlighting the need to implement sustainable strategies that guarantee equitable access to ICTs.
