Evaluation of E-learning Courses based on Educational Design Elements from ADDIE in Isfahan University of Medical Sciences

The purpose of this study was to evaluate e-learning courses based on Addie's design elements in higher education. The research method was a descriptive survey. The statistical population of the study consisted of all students of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences in the first semester of academic year 1399-1998. The sample size was 222 students of Medical and Dental School using multistage cluster sampling. The research tool was a researcher-made questionnaire with 30 questions with Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 94/7. Data were analysed by SPSS 23 software using descriptive statistics, mean and standard deviation, and inferential statistics, one-sample t-test and dependent t-test. The findings showed that the suitability of e-learning courses (asynchronous combination) based on Addie's educational design elements in the aspects of analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation were significantly (p <0.05) higher than the average level. And this level of desirability made a significant difference in e-learning and in-person sessions. Therefore, the desirability of face-to-face and electronic sessions in terms of analysis, development, and implementation alike, but in terms of design and evaluation of face-to-face meetings, is more than electronic ones. Therefore, it can be said that one of the types of e-learning, combined (dual) training, especially the non-simultaneous type, is one of the best educational approaches for use in higher education. It depends on how well they are considered.
