Abstract Objective:
The present study aims to explore the conditions for realizing an e-learning ecosystem at Allameh Tabataba'i University based on the lived experiences of professors and students with e-learning.
Methodology:
The research method employed in this study is qualitative, specifically grounded theory, which was further enriched through focus group interviews. The study population consisted of professors and students who had experienced at least one semester of virtual education. A purposive sampling method was used, ensuring representation from various faculties, disciplines, and both genders among professors and students who had experienced e-learning. Data collection was conducted through interviews, Data analysis was performed using open, axial, and selective coding
Findings:
Among the most significant findings of the study are the factors influencing the educational ecosystem, which are categorized into three groups: human factors, educational factors, and infrastructural factors. Human factors include those related to professors (initial challenges, course design, teaching assistants, evaluation of professor performance, and evaluation of student performance by professors), factors related to students (assessment of student status at the beginning and obstacles faced by students), and factors related to interaction (interaction in virtual education and professor-student interaction). Educational factors encompass educational resources and digital libraries. Finally, infrastructural factors include educational infrastructure and technical and support services
Conclusion:
Based on the findings, it can be concluded that the realization of an e-learning ecosystem requires systematic planning and the development of programs for various university departments and processes to transform the current ecosystem and adapt it to new needs.

Abstract The spread of Corona and the consequent closure of educational centers in the world and in Iran caused the form of education to change from face-to-face or virtual. Hence, the lack of necessary infrastructure, teachers 'and students' unfamiliarity with virtual learning caused families, students and schools to face a huge learning challenge. For this reason, the purpose of this study is to identify the indicators of educational of the Corona. The nature of the research is qualitative in terms of content analysis style. The sample size after theoretical saturation was 11 people and purposefully selected. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and data analysis by thematic method using MAXQDA10 software. Findings showed that educational indicators in times of crisis and corona outbreak included 5 cases; "Factors related to school, family, teachers, communication infrastructure and factors related to students." Therefore, creating communication infrastructure in all parts of the country, including villages and cities, creating a culture of e-learning and holding in-service courses to improve the productivity of teachers in conducting e-learning can help education in times of crisis.

Abstract Web-based tools and applications that have the potential to increase motivation and interaction among learners have attracted a lot of attention in the English language learning community. One of the newest web-based technologies used for educational purposes is Moodle, a virtual learning environment with open source. Considering the importance of technology in general and the rarity of studies on the use of Moodle in Second Language Education, this paper examines the impact of second language teaching with the help of Moodle on the ability to understand Iranian learners. For this purpose, in this study, a sample of 46 students of the English language school in one of the Islamic Azad University units in Iran was used as research subjects. In line with the purpose of the research, the students of the experimental group (25) received a combination of learning, in which the Moodle was added to in-class education, while the control group students (21) trained only in the same traditional method of in-class education. This study was conducted over a semester for 16 weeks. Statistical analysis of the data indicated that the comprehension function of the experimental group at the end of the period was better than the control group. These findings could have remarkable theoretical implications for teaching English as a second language.

Abstract The purpose of this Research, was to Analysis the state of Barriers to the use of Educational Tools and Technologies in Iran's electronic higher education system. The research method is survey in terms of data collection, and descriptive in terms of nature. The study population consisted of all teachers and students of higher education electronic institutions of Iran in the academic year 2016 - 2017 among which 741 were selected as the sample using the snowball sampling method. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect data. The questionnaire reliability was confirmed by both Cronbach's alpha and internal correlation coefficients using the Amos software and Confirmatory Factor Analysis Method. Cronbach's alpha for whole questionnaire was obtained 0/867.The results suggest that the state of Barriers to the use of training tools in Iran's electronic higher education system is significantly favorable. However; positive attitude towards technology, preferred use of technology in communication and comfort feeling in the use of technology are most Barriers to the Use of Educational Tools and Technologies in Iran's Electronic Higher Education System. Moreover, the Analytical result of the state of Barriers to the use of training tools showed a significant difference in various subgroups in terms of training role, gender and school group variables.
