| 总结: | Online technology plays a significant role in higher education especially in assisting teaching and learning. In Afghanistan, to move towards student-centered and technology-driven learning, the Ministry of Higher Education (MoHE) encourages all universities to use technology to facilitate teaching and learning. This study, therefore, attempts to measure Afghanistan university students’ perceptions of online tools utilization on their learning.

However, participants believed that online tools are able to assist them develop surface learning better than deep learning. This is due to a number of barriers faced by the students, and universities in providing better learning experiences through technology.
