Just over one year ago, we made a transitions from Pearson eCollege's LearningStudio LMS to Canvas.  Here is a chart that we put together a while back for our faculty to help them understand the differences between the two platform.  The last version of LearningStudio we used before we switched was their .NExT platform (based on Microsoft's .NET framework).
