The purpose of this study is to identify the role of e-learning on the transfer of education to the workplace among the staff of Shahid Sattari Aviation University. The research method is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive in terms of how to collect information. The statistical population of the study consisted of all employees of Shahid Sattari Aviation University, whose number was 700 people. The statistical sample of the study was estimated to be 248 people based on Krejcie and Morgan table and were selected using simple random sampling method. The research instruments were two standard questionnaires of e-learning Whitkins (2004) with a reliability of 0.87 and Shams Morkani and Abbasi Kesi (2016) education transfer questionnaire with a reliability of 0.91. Descriptive and inferential statistics (one-sample t-test, independent t-test, Pearson correlation coefficient, structural equation modeling (SEM) and one-way analysis of variance) were used to analyze the data. The results showed that the dimensions of e-learning have an impact on all three factors of individual, educational and organizational transfer of education to the workplace among the staff of Shahid Sattari Aviation University.

E- Learning is a partly newfound field in education domain, that provides learning opportunity for everyone, everywhere and every time. The purpose of this study was to determine the combined effect of e-learning based on domestic research through a Meta-analysis procedure. Statistical population in the study is concerned the domestic available research that related to cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains schooling e-learning outcomes. In general, 37researches were investigated as primary researches after considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Combined effect size difference between e-learning learners than traditional base learners showed that the overall traditional base learners compared with e-learning learner are weaker (ES =0/49).This difference was observed in more than two-thirds of the primary research. However, more detailed analysis revealed that, the significant differences between the two groups about cognitive (ES =0/49)and affective indicators (ES =0/51).And about psychomotor indicators was not statistically difference(ES =0/39).Additional analysis also showed that, the greatest difference between the methods of e-learning Belongs to computer based learning (ES =0/96), smart school (ES =0/95) and online learning (ES =0/42) respectively; that the effect sizes of computer based learning and online learning are significant.

This study is an attempt to identify and prioritize the effective factors affecting public schools teachers’ tendency to employ e-learning. The study population are 667 elementary school teachers teaching in public schools. The study sample, using the Morgan table, were 242 people who were selected by simple random sampling. In this research four components of individual characteristics, environmental factors, infrastructure, educational media and educational content were studied and indicators for each component were determined. The study data gathering instrument was a 30-item researcher-made questionnaire.that was designed and developed on the basis of opinions of education experts and scholars and the findings of previous studies . The result of this research indicates that environment and infrastructure (3.11), educational media (2.43), individual characteristics of the learner (2.39) and educational content (2.08), were ranked one to four. The components of each factor were also ranked, among which computer literacy and experience and web knowledge were (8.52) at the highest level and appropriateness of educational content with occupational needs (2.38) were at the lowest level. The study findings indicate that teachers prefer electronic in-service education to other modes of teaching and learning because it is less time-consuming and cheaper.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of animated pedagogical agents in multimedia on students learning and retention. The statistical population consisted of all eighth grade girl students in region 4 of district 6 in Tehran. 60 students were selected using available sampling method and randomly divided into control and experimental groups. The research method was quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest design with control group. Before the implementation of instruction on the students of both groups, pre-test related to instructional content was conducted. The experimental group was trained in four instructional sessions using a researcher-made multimedia based on pedagogical agent and the control group was kept away from the independent variable. In the end, the post-test of learning and retention was performed. The research instrument included a researcher-made learning questionnaire and a retention questionnaire parallel with the learning test. Descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation) and inferential statistics (covariance) were used to analyze the data. In general, the results indicated that the pedagogical agents in multimedia increased learning and retention in students. Therefore, the results of this study showed the effective role of multimedia based on animated pedagogical agents in enhancing the learning and retention of the students.

This study aims to investigate the role of e-learning skills in the virtual students’ academic achievement and satisfaction. The statistical population is composed of all students at the E-Learning Education Center at the University of Tehran and Mehr Alborz Higher Education Institute out of whom, 388 individuals were selected as the sample using the relative stratified sampling method and based on Kerjessi and Moregan Table. The research method is correlation, and two researcher-developed questionnaires, e-learning preparation measurement test, and academic satisfaction test were used for data collection. Content validity of these two tests through using the views of seven e-learning specialists and their reliability upon trial administration to 60 students and calculation of Cronbach’s alpha were put at 0.84 and 0.87 respectively. Moreover, in order to measure and assess academic achievement, the researchers employed the students’ mean of academic achievement. The research data were analyzed by means of a t-test, Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise regression, the results of which indicated that the level of students’ skills is mediocre, level of academic satisfaction is mediocre, and the level of their academic achievement is good. Pearson correlation coefficient demonstrated that there is a correlation between metacognitive and cognitive skills and academic achievement. Furthermore, the results and findings suggest that there is a correlation between metacognitive and cognitive skills and academic satisfaction, while no significant relation was found between the variables of technological skills and communication skills and academic achievement and satisfaction. The share of metacognitive skills in prediction of the students’ academic achievement is 32.8%, and that of cognitive skills is 11.5%. In addition, the share of metacognitive skills in prediction of students’ academic satisfaction is 50%, and that of cognitive skills is 17.5%.

This study aims to investigate the quality of e-learning at Amirkabir University based on the elements of educational design. The research method is descriptive and analytical. The statistical population comprises all core and specialized courses corresponding to the field of applied mathematics – operations research in e-learning program of the university in the academic year 2012-2013. The sampling method is random sampling whereby the course “Engineering Statistics and Probability” was selected. The data collection instrument includes a researcher-developed checklist developed based on the elements of educational design. Formal validity was employed for the purpose of examining validity and its reliability coefficient was put at 0.78 as suggested by Cronbach’s alpha. In order to gather the data, the specialists received online training in 6 sessions. Afterwards, they filled in the checklist. Descriptive and inferential statistics as well as SPSS program were applied in data collection. The results suggest that the quality of e-learning at Amirkabir University based on the elements of educational design is relatively ideal.
