Abstract: Abstract The aim of this study is to demonstrate how Moodle helps students in their distance electronic learning process. The survey results are intended to show how Moodle can help the distance electronic courses in three Greek universities, the Piraeus University of Applied Sciences, Hellenic Open University and TEI of Epirus, to investigate any problems and to propose improvement measures for qualitative learning. The working methodology will be based on the collection of primary and secondary data. The original data will be collected by conducting quantitative research using questionnaire as main tool. The sample will be undergraduates and postgraduates students. Results revealed that students consider Moodle as an easy platform, which does not require specialized knowledge on how to use it. This is an important factor in encouraging students and the continuation of their studies. Students seem to prefer Moodle as they find it easy and revisory though is not effective enough in learning as students are not completely satisfied by the communication with their teachers, the media used and the study suggests. Finally, we found that women evaluate Moodle higher in comparison to men.
