Abstract: The Internet has caused a paradigm change in distance education during the 21th century. At spring of 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, the formal, full-time education in Higher Education is also appeared in distance education. Thousands of students had to use the LMS systems instead of face-to-face learning. Decrease in student satisfaction and motivation in distance learning is among frequently observed problems. The research focus is full-time students’ e-learning satisfaction at Széchenyi István University in Hungary, Győr. The study was carried out with 2350 undergraduate students us-ing Moodle e-learning portal at Széchenyi István University. The research questions are as follows: Does technical System Quality/ or Information Quality/ or Teachers Behaviour positively influence the perceived satisfaction with the e-learning system? Our hypothesis gained empirical support. The full-time students perceive positive satisfaction with the Moodle e-learning system, and with the in-formation quality, but most of them don't want to adopt this way of education in the future.
