INTRODUCTION
The use of technology is very popular for the young generation to attain their life and knowledge desires. R. Raja (2018) say that students nowadays prefer to use technology because they can get positive outcomes. Online resources carry out students' pleasure to get information and knowledge. The presence of technology has changed the educational paradigm in a modern style where the students have wide access to learn, an advanced learning technology allows the teacher to conduct distance learning (Thomas et al., 2012).
The changes in the educational paradigm are generated from the contribution of industrial revolution 4.0. Lase (2019) states that industrial revolution 4.0 changes the way of thinking in education. The use of advanced technology, automation, and data exchanges improve classroom activities through the virtual world. In addition, Lase (2015) explains that industrial revolution 4.0 combines the virtual world, automation technology, and cyber technology to produce automatic production. Therefore, the use of internet is beneficial to expand virtual learning. This type of learning is commonly called as online learning. Internet can be defined as a global area network that connects the computer systems through networking system protocol and allows the user to share information (Setiyani, 2010). It helps the students get sophisticated knowledge and information access with a low budget (Dogruer, Eyyam, and Menevis, 2011). Waryanto (2016) and R. Raja (2018) claim that the internet enables students to have stylish access of information through electronic learning (E-Learning).
The development of the internet has reached the future demand for learning. It has a great contribution to the development of E-Learning in education. Elyas (2018) defines E-Learning as the use of the internet to facilitate the learning process through information data transmission. The interconnection network system enables the students to get information and knowledge beyond the limits. Ucu et al. (2018) explain that the characteristic of E-Learning class is to enable students and teachers to use electronic devices that provide autonomous learning. While Jethro et al. (2012) say that there are some benefits of E-Learning in education, such as improving learning quality, developing students learning engagement, and learning interest. E-Learning offers a wide range of tools to enable teachers and learners to be innovative and creative.
The popularization of E-Learning begins to change the current learning trends. Blended learning is the most popular learning trends in education. Wahid (2019) (Dodun et al., 2015). It is an interactive online service that provides a broad way of information access, tools, and resources to reinforce the learning process through the internet (Ghirardini, 2011 Haryanto (2018) explains that the default setting of the Schoology restricts the user to access through a non-android smartphone. As an opensource E-Learning platform, Moodle has some advanced features to cover those problems. Benta, Bologa, and Dzitac (2014) explain that Moodle is an open-source E-Learning platform designed to provide an integrated learning system to create a personalized and formal learning environment. Gunawan et al. (2016) and Singh (2016) convey that Moodle is a distinguished E-Learning platform that is used to promote adaptive learning between teachers and students. In addition, it enables the user to get wide access to be an administrator to create the working structure and modify the course by using additional plugins.
Many kinds of research are conducted to investigate the potentials of E-Learning in education. Soliman (2014) and Al-maqtri (2014) explain that the use of E-Learning is successfully generated students' language proficiency. Some online quizzes provide an effective way for the students to do the assignment. While Mutambik (2018) explains that the implementation of e-learning enhances students' language proficiency and independent learning. In addition, free E-Learning platforms such as Edmodo and Schoology take some benefits in classroom activities. Muhlis (2017) and Usman (2016) state that there are some potentials of Edmodo. It provides a convenient way to maintain online learning, discussion, and evaluation. Moreover, the use of another E-Learning platform such as Schoology can enhance the students' learning achievement (Tigowati et al., 2017). Those researches are generally present the potentials and benefits of opensource E-Learning platform in education, but only a few data that present the use of customized E-Learning platform such as Moodle in education. Moodle is one of the common E-Learning platforms which has a customized design setting to support the learning process. It has multiple features that can be adjusted and integrated with the school portal and website. Hence, this research is conducted to find the potentials of Moodle E-Learning in education.

Research Design
This research was developed under phenomenological qualitative research. Christensen, Johnson, and Turner (2014) explains that phenomenological research concern to describe the experience of phenomena happen to participant`s life world. The purpose is to describe a certain phenomenon accurately based on the truth of the fact (Groenewald, 2004). Further, purposive sampling was performed to determine the participants. Etikan (2016) explains that purposive sampling enables us to have a chance to determine the participants based on their quality possessed. Some criteria had been set up to be used as the measurement for the participants.

Research Participants
For the students, they must be actively registered as the students of SMA Muhammadiyah 2 Yogyakarta, familiar with the internet or gadget, and they must have the experience to join the learning activities during COVID-19 by using E-Learning. Based on those criteria, the researcher chooses twenty students as participants. All the participants are taken from grade X because the researcher works as an English teacher dedicated to teaching grade X students. For the teacher, the criteria which have been set is the teacher who has at least five years of teaching experience in ELT, and the teacher must have the experience to use E-Learning at least for six months during the pandemic disease. As the result, there are three teachers available to meet the criteria of being the participant.

Data Collection and Analysis
To collect the data, the first phase of the study is investigating the phenomenon that happened at SMA Muhammadiyah 2 Yogyakarta. After that, the researcher conducted a semistructured interview with the participants to get deep information about the phenomenon. As explained by Anne Galleta (2013), the use of a semi-structured interview is beneficial to obtain extricate data based on the participants' experience and perspectives toward the related phenomena. In this research, the researcher conducts a semi-structured interview for both students and teachers to extricate the data about their beliefs, experiences, and perspectives toward the phenomena. Interviewing both students and teachers avoids the subjectivity of the data finding. It is very beneficial to get the extricate data based on the students' experience and perspectives toward the phenomenon without any intervention. It depicts the
