Survey on Professors and Students' Attitude about Virtual Learning in Iran Universities

Although virtual learning is seen as a desirable phenomenon and has been increasing rapidly among colleges in Iran but there are still few researches in this area. The goal of this study is to survey the attitude of professors and students in the Iranian colleges. For this purpose 95 and 161questioners were provided and sent to professors and students, respectively. Results show that professors have positive attitude to virtual learning as an effective instructional tool. For students results indicate that factors such as independency, guidance of professors and multimedia instruction are the most effective variables in using virtual learning. For both professors and students it has been noticed that self-sufficiency and self-acceptance are the most important factors of using virtual learning.
