Abstract: Learning management systems help the learning process by providing a central location to access material online and to develop content. As most of the educational institutions moved their classes to online courses from spring of 2020, the importance of LMS raised. In this study our aim was to determine which LMS Transylvanian Universities use. For this, we conducted in-depth interviews with students not only to find out which LMS are used, but more specifically what are the main functionalities used and appreciated by the students. We also analyzed schools’ institutional websites. We searched for information about how the learning content is distributed to the students. One conclusion of our study is that only a few of the faculties have already applied an LMS before the COVID-19 pandemic. The systems were used mainly for pushing out information and for administrative tasks.
