This study explored the application of online educational tools in Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, with a focus on student perceptions. It identified the tools deployed, determined their areas of application, assessed their impact on learning outcomes, and analyzed the associated challenges. Relying on a survey conducted among selected 260 undergraduate students of the university, its findings revealed that Google Classroom and Google Meet were the most frequently used online tools, mainly for lectures, assignments, and information dissemination. Other tools like e-Zone, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Moodle, and Blackboard were sparingly used. The findings showed that while online tools enhanced flexibility and accessibility thus enhancing academic performance, challenges such as technical issues and absence of motivation hinder their effective use. The study concluded that improving digital infrastructure and providing adequate training for both students and educators are essential for maximizing the benefits of online educational tools in higher education.
