Abstract. The paper examines the university teachers’ use of interactive tools in the Learning Management System (LMS) Moodle in relation to the students’ training in a distance form of learning. The analysis covers data from online teacher opinion surveys in a university setting over four academic years. The results show that the interactive tools can be divided into two main groups. The first group includes tools with high usage and positive trends, such as URLs, assignments and electronic tests. These tools have been found to be used steadily and with an increasing trend, underscoring their importance for the digital learning environment. The second group includes tools with declining use or limited data availability, such as forums, surveys and chat. The forum tool shows a decline in usage, suggesting the need to explore the reasons and opportunities for integration with social media to increase engagement. Some tools such as H5P and the gamification module Game, despite the lack of sufficient data, have potential for development. Future research should focus on the impact of these tools on student learning outcomes and engagement.
