Contemporary education systems are using different learning platforms to accomplish their tasks effectively and provide easy access to different learning resources. It has been more than a decade since the Learning Management Systems are introduced, and it seems to become one of the most important platforms for increasing the value of learning and teaching process in Kosovo. The paper shares the experience on the use of Edmodo LMS as a tool for enhancing the quality of learning and teaching. It addresses the perceived usefulness and challenges regarding Edmodo as a tool for enhancing students’ learning. Edmodo is a free and secure educational learning platform, which provides a simple way for teachers to create and manage an online classroom community. It allows teachers to connect and work with their students anywhere and anytime. Seeing the importance of using a learning platform, we have conducted a survey, which relies upon collection of empirical data with an aim to explore the impact and importance and the challenges of using it in secondary education in Kosovo. In addition, the importance of this study was to study the factors affecting the effective adoption of LMS by the schools staff and to propose solutions to help improve future adoption
