Most of the universities face various educational problems and obstacles that technology and E modes of learning can overcome. Many E-learning sources and tools are currently available for use such as Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), Moodle e-learning platform has been used in many universities around the world. E-learning tools can provide training and education to a large number of students with diverse cultural backgrounds and education levels. The present study aims to study the impact of e-learning on the higher education sector from a student’s viewpoint. It has been observed in the study that e-learning tools and their interactive features increase the motivation of undergraduate students for the learning process. Further, this study also observed that e-learning could be failed in education when overestimating what e-learning accomplishes. From this study, we obtain a global view of the current and future tendencies of e-learning tools and therefore we provide possible important comments for using e-learning tools in the classroom.
