THE USE OF MOODLE AS LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN INDONESIAN ELT: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

The COVID-19 pandemic has an impact on the education sector, one of which is in the form of distance or online learning. Learning Management System (LMS) can facilitate online distance learning and Modular Object Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment (Moodle) is one of the most popular LMS used in the education sector to support the e-learning process. This systematic literature study examines the learning activities in Moodle and investigates the benefits and constraints faced by students in ELT. The systematic review method is the method used in this research by systematically analyzing previous studies. To get the research objects, several journal criteria have been determined by the researcher. The criteria are journals that have a publication year around 2017-2021, journals that have a focus on the use of Moodle in Indonesian ELT, journals that have a setting in Indonesia, and Journals indexed by Sinta 1-4. According to these criteria, there are nine journal papers obtained. From the analysis results, four studies mention activities in Moodle and five studies mention the advantages and constraints of the platform. Next, the salient activities founded in four studies are listening to video or audio, reading text or journal articles, and doing an assignment. Further, the benefits of Moodle based on the five papers studied were that the platform provides an opportunity for students to integrate technology into learning, provides an opportunity for students to improve the learning quality, and provides beneficial features. In addition, the constraints of Moodle were the internet connection problem, students were not familiar with the technology, and some materials provided in Moodle were hard to follow by students. Future researchers are suggested to conduct research about the use of Moodle in a wider area to obtain more complete results
