The experience of learning is changing due to rapid growth of Learning Management Systems (LMS) usage in campus universities. These systems have become an important resource in education, especially in higher education. In this paper we find the most suitable LMS for the needs of a university. First we take in consideration different approaches regarding LMS as the modern way of teaching and how does this impact the traditional teaching methods. In the second part we compare the most well-known Learning Management Systems used among universities based on two types of criteria: features and capabilities, and the second are the technical requirements. The last part of this paper focuses on discussions about the results we found.
