The uses of technology make education more sophisticated especially higher education. Learning Management Systems (LMS) is a web-based technology to implement online teaching and learning easily. However, students’ online engagement level in LMS still under question as it difficult to measure properly. This study was conducted to investigate students’ engagement level in Moodle based platform (MBP) based on number of task posted and number of task viewed by students in MBP and the effects on students’ learning outcome. The participants of the study were 33 undergraduate students who enrolled to an online ‘The Psychology of teaching and learning in Mathematics Education’ course. The descriptive statistic in this study reveals that students’ engagement level is high for number of views in MBP compared to number of posts. While chi square test of independence results that number of views related with students’ exam score. Then, the correlation analyzed using Spearman correlation coefficient shows there is positive correlation between number of views and students’ exam score compare to number of posts by students on MBP. Thus, these findings may have implications for educator in higher education to manage multiple activities in MBP to improve students’ learning particularly in mathematics.
