Abstract

This research examines student perceptions of e-learning tools in chemistry education, concentrating on their usage, effectiveness, features, engagement, and overall impact. Two hundred students from various programs and levels of study were given a standardised questionnaire with five Likert scale items. The data was examined by using methods of correlation, regression, and descriptive statistics. According to the findings, using e-learning tools may greatly improve your ability to solve problems, study for exams, and do well in school generally. Findings indicate that multimedia and interactive aspects significantly contribute to higher levels of student engagement and motivation. While many students have faith in digital resources, others have doubts about their capacity to totally replace more conventional approaches, especially when it comes to grasping more advanced ideas. Another finding from the research is that people's perceptions are greatly impacted by demographic criteria such gender, age, academic level, institution type, and internet availability. These results emphasise the rising importance of online learning tools in chemistry education as useful adjuncts.
