Moodle is an open source for e-learning system. Moodle can be used as a tool for delivering contents to students and it can be used to build rich collaborative learning communities. It allows users to be active learners, who actively participate in the online learning process. Based on this background, this study aimed to investigate the students’ views on the use of Moodle in mathematics education. This study gave attention to the variables of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude and students’ self- efficacy in learning mathematics.  Participants of this study consisted of 24 students, who took first and second semester courses at the master's levels in mathematics education in 2018 batch from Open and Distance Education Center (ODEC), TU. There are 21 male and three female students. Four students were chosen for interview including one female representative. Data triangulation between the data of interview, online observation and interview with online teachers were used to analyze and analysis of the data. Three online teachers were chosen for interview purposively. The finding revealed that students had positive perception towards the use of Moodle and were happy to learn mathematics from the online mode rather than face-to-face mode. It was suggested that the Moodle, if used appropriately and systematically, benefits tutors and students equally.
