description In this article a comparative analysis of two learning management systems (LMS) is presented; Moodle and Blackboard CourseSites. A study was conducted using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to evaluate the acceptability of each system amongst students. The TAM is based on a questionnaire composed of six variables and twenty questions. The authors worked with a representative sample of students using both LMS to carry out their class activities in the Faculty of Engineering at the Public University of Milagro in Ecuador. By applying the statistical hypothesis testing based on the theory of proportional difference it was revealed that in the analyzed population learning is better using CourseSites than Moodle. CourseSites offers greater ease of use and is thus more “friendly and fun. Students considered themselves capable of using both tools. In general, this study showed the desirability of adopting CourseSites as a tool for virtual learning.
