Abstract: This study ascertained the Students’ Perception of the Use of Virtual Learning Services in Education in Tertiary Institutions in Gombe State. Two research questions and two hypotheses guided the study. A descriptive survey design was adopted. The population comprised 350 final years and 515 penultimate students in five tertiary institutions in Gombe State. A sample size of 250 students was selected for the study using a simple random sampling technique. A structured and validated questionnaire on a four-point rating scale containing 48 items was used for data collection. Data collected were analyzed using mean and standard deviation to answer the research questions while a t-test was used to test the hypotheses at a 0.05 level of significance. The analysis was carried out using SPSS version 23.0. Findings revealed that students sometimes use virtual learning services in learning, but virtual learning services were not adequately available in tertiary institutions. Students’ competency in internet usage was fair and that virtual learning service delivery is constrained by a lot of factors. Therefore, it was recommended among others that, Administrators of tertiary institutions in collaboration with the private sector should provide more virtual learning resources to tertiary institutions so as to facilitate the training of students in skills needed to use virtual learning services in the process of learning.
