AB  - BACKGROUND: Learning digital technologies in higher education is a process of 
      knowledge generation, and the rapid growth of technology in education has a 
      significant impact on students' learning behaviors, motivation, and knowledge 
      development. Pakistan's remarkable technological breakthrough has increased in 
      the education field. STUDY OBJECTIVES: The study focuses on estimating students' 
      learning behaviors, identifying the positive influence of educational apps on 
      digital learning platforms, and analyzing their impact on students' motivation 
      and knowledge development. MATERIALS AND METHODS: According to the study's 
      objectives, a questionnaire survey was conducted to gather the primary data. The 
      participants were students of universities in Lahore city of Pakistan. For this 
      study, the sample size was N = 300, carefully chosen using the purposive sampling 
      technique. Of the respondents, there were 146 male and 154 female students, and 
      the sample consisted of individuals aged 25-35 years. Smart-PLS-Bootstrapping, 
      T-Values (PLS) 3.2.9 and the structural equation model (SEM) were applied to get 
      the appropriate outcomes from the proposed study framework. RESULTS: SEM analysis 
      results shows that all proposed hypotheses [Animated Movies (AM) -> Student 
      Motivation (SM), Educational Apps (EA) -> Knowledge Development (KD), Learning 
      Behavior (LB) -> Animated Movies, Learning Behavior -> Educational Apps, Learning 
      Behavior -> Knowledge Development, Learning Behavior -> Virtual Classrooms (VCr), 
      Virtual Classrooms -> Knowledge Development, Virtual Classrooms -> Student 
      Motivation] are confirmed while Learning Behavior -> Student Motivation is not 
      confirmed. CONCLUSION: This study found that digital learning platforms 
      significantly impact students' learning and what motivates them to learn. The 
      study also found that using educational apps and virtual classrooms more often 
      helps students learn more and be more motivated to learn.
