The statistical chi-square test showed that there was a significant correlation between different terms (P<0.05). Also, the stressor factors were encountering to environmental factors, contact to educational & care staffs and interpersonal relationship with patient and their families; But, there was no statistical significant correlation between different terms.

But after the universities and educational institutes rushed for using e-learning, they realized that the time and the cost of content development with good quality is more than its benefits. In the traditional e-learning approach, content development takes months and costs a lot, so that during this process the main problem and its solution may change or even disappear. Rapid prototyping or rapid e-learning is an approach for e-learning content development which tries to resolve this problem. This educational approach improved a lot, around the world. Conclusion. By using proper keywords, electronic resources and credible scientific websites, this review article tries to find articles related to rapid e-learning and tries to present world studies’ results. Also, while showing the advantages and disadvantages of rapid e-learning, this study is aimed to present this educational approach and recommend it to educational managers in medical education area.

Introduction. planning is essential to create long-life and drawing the horizon of organizational programs, activities and resources. Prediction is understanding the future environment and factors affecting it and finding all threats, bounds, positions and opportunities of the organization in that environment. Therefore, being aware of the future opportunities inside and outside the organization is the starting point of educationalplanning and lack of attention to it, make the educational program vulnerable. This review article is to describe and expand the role of futurism and explain the tows model in strategic teaching planning.Education must be noticed to future and look forward perspectives, because if we dont recognize future and couldnt draw or define it, how we can train new organization inputs for the future unknown world? Therefore, from the most important principles of educational planning is to forecast the future events and activities of the organization. Prediction in the frame of educational and strategicConclusion. If the products of training programs are to be addapted to new positions, challenges and future prospects of organization should be clear as possible in the educational needs assessment stage.
