The Learning Management System (LMS) market has grown significantly, offering diverse options for delivering educational programs. Choosing the right LMS requires a comprehensive analysis covering multiple dimensions. This study adopted a comparative case study approach between two LMS, Canvas and Moodle, using a comprehensive matrix with over ninety criteria, grounding its analysis in existing literature and applying evaluative criteria based on recognized standards in the field of educational technologies. The methodological purpose focused on evaluating economic, technical, and organizational aspects to provide informed guidance to educators in selecting the appropriate platform.
