The pandemic occurred resulting in a distance learning management system. With a pandemic background, you cannot face to face, do not do outside activities, know about technology updates, and for knowledge transfer,learning continues. To determine the effective learning management system, the writer uses a comparison of decision support methods, namely the SAW and TOPSIS methods. This method determines the choice of the learning management system by indicating the final result in the form of ranking. As an alternative learning management system, they are Edmodo, Dokeos, Docebo, Moodle, ATutor, Olat, Chamilo, Google Classroom, and Schoology. The criteria are features, cost, facilities, ease of use, access time, the effectiveness of use, security, interactive, and quality feedback. The purpose of this study is to compare the results obtained using the SAW and TOPSIS methods to support decision-making in finding solutions or alternatives to the learning management system selection. The result of the value of the two methods is that the SAW method produces a Google Classroom with a score of 0.7625 which is assigned to the first rank. Meanwhile, the TOPSIS method produced Edmodo with a score of 0.5702 as the first rank.
