Study cases on specific LMSs used in Romania and worldwide

It is hard nowadays to speak about eLearning without implicitly including an eLearning portal used to deliver educational material and manage interaction between students and tutors. Learning Management Systems (LMS) are a set of tools and services used for delivering knowledge. They are actually Content Management Systems, designed for pedagogical use and can be open source or commercial. This paper presents a few of the management systems considered by the authors to be the most important ones and their use amongst universities world wide and also in the particular case of Romania. We have established upon the results of these case studies that open source systems are the favourite ones, Moodle leading by far the LMS competition.
