Eventually, today, more people have a chance to take education. Measurement and evaluation applications carried out via the Internet are now quite important for education. In the present study, a valid and reliable attitude scale was developed to measure the attitudes of students doing the Distant Education Theology Undergraduate Education Program towards a web-based examination system (MOODLE).The study group was made up of 1287 3rd and 4th grade students registered in the Distant Education Application and Research Center. In the study, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was conducted to determine the factor structure of the scale; confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted to test its construct validity; and other validity analyses such as exploratory factor analysis, uni-dimensional factor analysis and two-dimensional factor analysis were applied. The research data were analyzed in computer with the package softwares of SPSS 18.0 and Lisrel 8.51. Key words: Attitude, moodle, education technology.

This study focused just on determining the attitudes towards the exam module used in MOODLE system rather than determining the attitudes towards exam modules used in web-aided education systems
Summary
Rapid developments in information and communication technologies (ICT) have led to the developments in the field of education and increased the quality of education besides contributing to learning experiences (Yalman and Tunga, 2014). This rapid development of ICT has enriched teaching and learning experiences and led to a better-quality education (Tella, 2011; Maldonado et al, 2011). When compared with the traditional learning, it is seen that e-learning provides students with more sources and allows them to gain more satisfactory learning experiences via instructional activities (Saulnier et al, 2008).
