Providing an Strategic Electronic Learning Model for the Students of the Virtual Education Center at Isfahan University of Medical Sciences

In recent years, the use of modern technology has driven traditional learning towards e-learning and has made it a significant teaching device. This led the present study to focus on providing a strategic e-learning model for the students of the virtual education center at Isfahan University of Medical Sciences.

This study is a qualitative research with content analysis approach. The population of the present research consists of all the students of the virtual education center at Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. The data were collected by semi-structured interviews using the snowball method. Sampling was continued until the categories reached theoretical saturation. Fifteen individuals participated in this study.

The model framework with four dimensions of e-learning environment features and three main categories (perceptual skill, emotions and self-regulation) were identified that illustrate student e-learning strategies. Its validity and reliability were also confirmed.

This strategic e-learning model provides a framework for the systematic analysis of the online learning strategies of students. It provides a general range for understanding and analyzing student online learning and learning strategies
