Background: Emergency remote learning during the pandemic required secondary schools to implement digital systems, yet integrating e learning into thematic subjects introduces multifaceted instructional and technical hurdles. Objective: This study examined the implementation of e learning in thematic learning and analyzed its impact on student’s academic progress at SMAN 1 Batujajar. Method: A qualitative descriptive field design was utilized. Data were gathered through direct observation, documentation, and in-depth interviews with students, teachers, parents, and the principal. Data trustworthiness was confirmed through source and method triangulation, followed by reduction, data display, and verification procedures. Result: The findings indicate that mobile e learning supports thematic instruction through flexible learning schedules, independent knowledge exploration, and multimodal enrichment using instructional videos. Nonetheless, instruction was constrained by unstable internet connections, limited device access, curriculum time restrictions, and learner fatigue from diminished direct classroom interaction. Conclusion: E learning represents a viable medium for enhancing student engagement in thematic curricula when supported by reliable connectivity and structured teacher facilitation. Originality/Value: This study offers novel empirical insights into educational technology by detailing the interplay between pedagogical flexibility and technical constraints regarding thematic e learning implementation in public secondary education. These findings serve as a strategic reference for blended curriculum development, digital infrastructure allocation, and school distance learning guidelines.
