Introduction
Technology has developed rapidly now both among adults and elderly. Technology has both positive and negative sides. However, technological progress cannot be avoided even though it has a negative impact. The world of education has become one of the platforms for technology to develop rapidly, therefore we must be able to build positive technology in the world of education. Education formal in Indonesia is education carried out at school take a face to face. This education long time as implemented and feel, however there are some problems that often appears when face-to-face. One of the problem is limited face-to-face time in class. Inefficient time efficiency becomes a problem for students to be able to do learning activity completely and accurately. Some student activity becomes stop when the learning time is over so that learning objectives are not able maximally. Students learning activity is the activities that will build students' knowledge if the student learning activity can not working well, then knowledge can not be perfectly in accordance with the learning objectives that have been set.
E-learning is a process education in electronic form through internet network or the internet with the use of management system for education [1]. The term e-learning is attempt to make a transformation of the learning process in schools or university into a digital to be connected to internet technology [2]. E-learning is one of the solutions to problems that often happens during learning, that it limited face-to-face time [3]. E-learning is able to make students to do learning activities completely without limited face to face time in class. E-learning is formed from the technology advances by involving LMS based on Moodle.
Learning Management System (LMS) is an application software used to assist in the learning process in E-learning [4]. According to Ryan K. Ellis in the book A Field Guide to Learning Management System (2009: 1), " Learning Management System, the basic description is a software application that automates the administration, tracking, and reporting of training events ". LMS has two main objectives that is to make learning more independent and make it possible for LMS users to register, save, manage, publish learning via the web and print documents available through the LMS [5]. LMS provides flexibility for users to be able to create and manage learning in accordance with the aims and learning objectives [6]. There are 2 types of LMS, that is (1) Proprietary LMS such as: Apex Learning, Blackboard, Intralearn, SAP Enterprise Learning, Saba Software, and others; (2) LMS that are Open Source such as: A Tutor, Claroline, Dokeos, ILIAS, Moodle, Sakai, and others [7]. In this research, the researcher is chose Moodle because from the results of previous studies comparing several Open Source LMS applications from several sides, and stated that moodle is the most popular and best LMS application comparing to other LMS applications.
Moodle (Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment) was first made by Martin Daugiamas in August 2002 with Moodle version 1.0, all started when Martin saw many people who school that want to use the Internet beastly, so that to motivate Martin to build elearning is Moodle [8]. Moodle is an application program that can transform learning media into web forms. The benefits of the use of the LMS uses Moodle as online is very important, there are resolve the limitations of which are frequency face to face in the class. Moodle is provided free of charge as open source software (under the GNU Public License ). That's mean even though it has copyright, moodle is still given the freedom to copy, use and modifying. Moodle can direct work without modification on Unix, Linux, Windows, Mac [9]. Moodle becomes one of the ways to improve the effectiveness of learning [10]. By using moodle students can conduct learning activities online. With moodle students are given the freedom to be able to access various learning materials, interact with their teachers and friends [11] so that didn't make static learning. Moodle has several features that can support online learning activities. Several activities learning that support by Moodle are (1) Video ; (2) Discussion forums; (3) chat; (4) materials; and (5) Quiz [12].

Methods
The type of research is Quasi Experiment that intended to know the influence of something imposed on the subject. This research begins with give selection of the right LMS moodle which is designed moodle according to the learning activities needed. Before going to moodle we applied moodle validated first to a validator who is an expert in e-learning media. Moodle that has been validated can be applied or used and measured the level of student activity using observation. Scheme of research implementation can be seen in Figure 1.

Moodle Design
In this research the LMS chosen is Moodle. Moodle is designed to support student activities in online. Next is the moodle appearance that has been designed for each student activity.

Moodle Login
To be able to access moodle, student must have their username and password to be registered by admin, that is teacher. After that student can login to moodle by accessing the link http://elearning.moodlecloud.com. Student must insert username and password then click login. Login application moodle as shown in Figure 2.

First Page Moodle
After success login to moodle, then the display of moodle will like a Figure 3. On this display will be seen courses, that have been created by admin and will be used in online learning. To be access to course, admin must activate student account. Finally, student can access and join the courses.

Activities in the Course
On a course that has been designed, there are some learning activities will be support student activities online. In this research, the course have five students activities on moodle. Every activities have different functions on learning. Activities in the course as shown in Figure 4.  Figure 4. Activities in the Course

Validity of Moodle E-Learning
Moodle that was designed in first was validated by two experts from the media validator. The aspects assessed in this validity are classified into three aspects: (1) Software; ( 2) Learning; and (3) Communication. From the result validity that researched do is obtained an average percentage of 91.67% and included in the criteria very well. The results of Moodle validity can be seen in the Figure  5.

Student Activites
In moodle there are five student activities that have been designed: The learning video presents a short video that has functions to construct the uniformity of students' first knowledge. Besides the learning video will be the motivation for students to explore the material that will be taught because with this video various questions will arise in the minds of students and will be a leap to dig deeper about the material to be taught. Learning video activities as shown in Figure 6. The forum activity discussion is a forum for conveying questions and answers that will be discussed together to be a hypothesis that will be reviewed for truth in the practicum. In this forum the teacher can see the activeness of students with the answers and responses given by students. Discussion forum activities as shown in Figure 7.

Materials
This activity presents subject matter that will be discussed. The material will be presented in the form of PPT in order to increase students' enthusiasm in understanding it. This material will be a source of learning and guidance for students during the lesson. The materials activity as shown in Figure 8.

Chat
One of activities that is often used and be favorite of students in moodle is chat. Chat activities are used by students to ask questions and discuss with the teacher and other friends about lessons that are not understood. Chat sent will be connected directly with the teacher and other students so that all can actively participate in responding to incoming chats. This activity is made so that students and teachers can still interact and communicate even though learning directly in online like a Figure 9.

Quiz
Quiz activities are designed to assess the ability of students on the subject matter that has been taught. Figure 10. Is quizzes that will be done by students. In this page there is a predetermined time limit and at the end of the quiz the results of student answers will be immediately displayed as a manifestation to increase student motivation and student knowledge
