The use of virtual platforms has become more important today. Knowing the level of acceptance of the Moodle platform after the COVID-19 pandemic is essential, which is why the objective of this research was to measure the level of acceptance of the Moodle platform in students. The study is quantitative, descriptive, non-experimental and cross-sectional in design. To collect the information, an instrument based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was used. 945 students from a Higher Education Institution participated in the study. The analysis of the findings revealed that the resources provided on the Moodle platform are considered very useful. Furthermore, it is perceived as an effective tool for academic organization and assignment delivery, playing a valuable role in the learning process. Moodle is easy to use and integrates naturally into your academic routine. Overall, the platform received a high rating both in terms of perceived usefulness and ease of use.
