Transitioning from one Learning Management System (LMS) to another is a challenging process. Learning must be accessible everywhere to learners and, therefore, rely utterly on a user-friendly LMS. The Open University of Mauritius started the transition process from Moodle to Blackboard in 2022. Blackboard provides learners and teachers with an inclusive learning environment. Both asynchronous and synchronous methods are incorporated in Blackboard to facilitate learning. Several mechanisms were put in place to support learners transitioning to the new LMS. The objectives of this study were to assess the effectiveness of Blackboard as an aid to the learning process of learners, to investigate the learners’ perceived satisfaction between Blackboard and Moodle and finally, to assess students' learning experiences with the new LMS. A questionnaire was administered to learners of Year 2. The sample was representative as students used both platforms during the two semesters. Analysis showed that around 75% of students preferred Blackboard and were satisfied with this LMS. Gap analysis revealed that both platforms were better with respect to online teaching and learning, while multiple regression analysis indicated that ease of use and course and curriculum design had significant positive impacts on the level of satisfaction of students with Blackboard.
