Masters Degree. University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban.Technology has been adopted by various higher education institutions globally and locally to support
teaching and learning. Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment (Moodle) is one of
the Learning Management Systems (LMSs) that is a popular choice among higher education
institutions. Moodle provides an online teaching and learning environment that supports students in
their courses. Many students have, however, been experienced challenges in adopting the LMSs due to
insufficient training and lack of computer skills in developing countries. This study, therefore, sought
to explore Geography students’ experiences of using Moodle in Higher Education. The study drew from
the Activity theory. The study adopted a qualitative research method and followed a case study
methodology. The participants in this study were Geography Education students at the University
KwaZulu Natal- Edgewood Campus. The study applied qualitative data generation methods in the use
of semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions. The findings from the study indicated that
Moodle was convenient, time-saving and enhanced communication between lecturers and students.
However, the students revealed that usage of Moodle was affected by lack of training. From the
findings, this study recommends regular training for students on the use of Moodle and electricity backup
arrangements during load shedding
