        abstract = {Digital learning tools have become integral to contemporary higher education, reshaping how students access content, engage with learning materials, and support their academic progress. This study examines the impact of digital learning tools such as Learning Management Systems (LMS), YouTube, AI-driven applications, interactive quiz platforms, and collaborative technologies on the academic performance of college students. A mixed-method research approach was employed, combining data from a structured questionnaire administered to 150 students with insights from semi-structured interviews conducted with 10 participants. The analysis utilized descriptive statistics, weighted mean analysis, Likert scale analysis, correlation analysis, and factor analysis to evaluate usage patterns and performance outcomes. The results reveal that digital learning tools contribute positively to academic achievement by enhancing conceptual understanding, engagement, and exam preparedness. However, issues including digital distraction, learning fatigue, and increased reliance on devices continue to pose challenges. The study concludes that effective integration of digital tools, supported by institutional frameworks and disciplined usage practices, is essential to fully realize their educational benefits.},
