The prevalence of coronary heart disease has affected education systems around the world, including higher education in Iran. The aim of this study was to determine the quality of virtual education system in Zahedan University of Medical Sciences from the perspective of students.

A descriptive-analytical study was conducted in 2016 at Zahedan University of Medical Sciences.

A standard electronic questionnaire with the dimensions of quality of educational content presentation, virtual education infrastructure, quality of online classes and quality of virtual tests was used to collect data. SPSS software and descriptive and analytical statistical tests (One way annova, etc.) were used to analyze the data.

From the studentschr('39') point of view, the highest mean score was related to the virtual education infrastructure dimension (2.97) and the lowest mean score was related to the response dimension (2.01). In terms of accountability, 35% of students rated the appropriate response to student problems by the schoolchr('39')s EDO expert as very poor. There was no significant relationship between gender and indigenousness and the quality dimensions of e-learning.
