This study investigates the degree to which Khan Academy serves as a digital geography learning platform. Students' opinions on accessibility, content relevance, concept understanding, learning independence, and overall efficacy as an Open Learning Resource (OER) were to be evaluated. Students were given questionnaires as part of this quantitative study, which received a positive response with an average overall score of 3.98. The findings show that Khan Academy improves students' comprehension, promotes self-directed learning, and provides flexible access to educational resources. These results are consistent with earlier studies that highlight how educational technology can enhance student engagement and cognitive performance. But it also emphasizes how crucial teacher involvement is in assisting students' character development and guiding them. The findings indicate that integrating digital platforms such as Khan Academy in geography education can significantly support learning when combined with active participation from teachers.
