The evaluation and selection of inappropriate open source software in learning management system (OSS-LMS) packages adversely affect the business processes and functions of an organization. Thus, comprehensive insights into the evaluation and selection of OSS-LMS packages are presented in this paper on the basis of three directions. First, available OSS-LMSs are ascertained from published papers. Second, the criteria for evaluating OSS-LMS packages are specified.according to two aspects: the criteria are identified and established, followed by a crossover between them to highlight the gaps between the evaluation criteria for OSS-LMS packages and the selection problems. Third, the abilities of selection methods that appear fit to solve the problems of OSS-LMS packages based on the multi-criteria evaluation and selection problem are discussed to select the best OSS-LMS packages. Results indicate the following: (1) a list of active OSS-LMS packages; (2) the gaps on the evaluation criteria used for LMS and other problems (consisting of main groups with sub-criteria); (3) use of multi-attribute or multi-criteria decision-making (MADM/MCDM) techniques in the framework of the evaluation and selection of the OSS in education as recommended solutions.
学习管理系统（OSS-LMS）软件包中不恰当的开源软件评估与选择会对组织的业务流程和功能产生不利影响。因此，本文基于三个方向对OSS-LMS软件包的评估与选择进行了全面深入的探讨。首先，从已发表的论文中确定可用的OSS-LMS。其次，从两个方面明确评估OSS-LMS软件包的标准：先确定并建立标准，然后将它们交叉以突出OSS-LMS软件包评估标准与选择问题之间的差距。第三，基于多标准评估与选择问题，讨论适用于解决OSS-LMS软件包问题的选择方法的能力，以选出最佳的OSS-LMS软件包。结果表明：（1）一份活跃的OSS-LMS软件包列表；（2）用于学习管理系统的评估标准及其他问题（由包含子标准的主要类别组成）上的差距；（3）在教育领域OSS评估与选择框架中使用多属性或多标准决策（MADM/MCDM）技术作为推荐解决方案。
