Comparative Study between Moodle, Canvas and Google Classroom

The integration of digital platforms has dramatically changed teaching practices and improved the way teachers deliver content and students interact with learning materials. Educational platforms have become an essential tool in modern education as they provide a flexible, interactive, and accessible environment that can meet different learning needs. This paper evaluates the performance of three widely used LMS platforms (Moodle, Google Classroom, and Canvas) against criteria developed by AINOA (formerly FFFOD). The evaluation focuses on six key areas: Pedagogical Features, Monitoring and Reporting, Design and Ergonomics, Deployment, Technical Features, and Offers and Services. Through this comparative overview, this document aims to help educators and institutions select the learning management system that best suits their teaching goals and technology infrastructure. In addition, the document highlights the evolving landscape of digital education and the importance of aligning LMS platforms with the latest AINOA guidelines to ensure adaptability and effectiveness in modern educational environments.
