This study aims to systematically examine the role of digital learning platforms in facilitating inquiry-based learning in various educational contexts. Inquiry-based learning is learning that stimulates students to actively explore, formulate questions, investigate, and reflect in the process of building knowledge. As technology advances, digital learning platforms have become a potential tool in supporting the implementation of inquiry learning at various levels of education. The Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, PRISMA model, was used to identify, analyze, and synthesize findings from scientific articles published in the last five years. Data were collected using Harzing's Publish or Perish (PoP) application through searches of Google Scholar and Crossref databases. The results of the study indicate that digital learning platforms play a significant role in supporting the implementation of inquiry learning by providing access to open resources, collaborative facilities, automated feedback, and digitally structured learning activities. Several features such as Learning Management Systems (LMS), interactive simulations, and online collaborative tools have proven effective in increasing student engagement and learning independence.
