This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The World Health Organization has identified the COVID-19 pandemic as a current hazard to humanity. As a result of the pandemic's successful global shutdown of several activities, including educational activities, colleges have migrated dramatically as a crisis response. Due to the cancellation of in-person classes, online learning has become more popular and has enabled students to continue their education. However, the abrupt shift from in-person to online learning has presented many difficulties for students, instructors, administrators and educational leaders. Zoom, Google Meet, Google Classroom and LMS platforms are the most frequently used media. Perceptions of the learning media have an impact on how students use them. This study intends to describe how students perceive the convenience and usefulness of the various learning tools accessibility. Overall, the research shows that the advantages of taking classes online exceed the difficulties that students may encounter. After showing the numerous advantages and drawbacks of using virtual learning in higher education, it is clear that there is still much opportunity for the future.
