This study investigates teacher perceptions of the use of Moodle, a learning management system (LMS) to enhance the quality of teaching and learning in a private school in Al-Ain city in the United Arab Emirates. The study explores teacher perceptions of Moodle as a tool for enhancing learners’ motivation and the opportunities it offers teachers to practice differentiated teaching. A qualitative approach was used to collect data from 12 K-12 teachers in one school in Al- Alain in the United Arab Emirates. The teachers, who participated in the study, attended an introductory training before they participated in the study. The results of the study indicate that teachers are very positive about Moodle as a tool for enhancing teaching and learning however there are other important factors that have made the implementation of Moodle a difficult task, which have been discussed in this paper. This study reflects the results of a single case study that will hopefully add to the emerging literature on the use of Moodle in the United Arab Emirates. (Published Abstract)
