This study investigates student perceptions of technology acceptance in higher education online learning environments. As digital tools and platforms become integral to modern education, understanding how students perceive and adopt technology is crucial for enhancing educational outcomes. Using a mixed-methods approach, including surveys and focus group discussions, this research explores factors influencing technology acceptance among students, such as usability, usefulness, and perceived ease of use. The findings shed light on students' attitudes, barriers, and preferences regarding technology integration in online learning. Insights from this study aim to inform educators and policymakers on effective strategies to promote technology acceptance and improve online learning experiences.
