Over the recent decades, a massive amount of new knowledge and research has been added to various fields of science including engineering. Due to the half-life of knowledge and the urgent need for replacing old information with new findings, learning has become quite challenging task for the learners. The demand of new line of learning is focus on critical thinking, problem solving, and applying learned materials in various fields. Also, in different area of engineering, learning and appropriate application of knowledge is of remarkable significance. In order to prepare an appropriate instructional design for different fields of study, the various approaches to information analysis and learning styles of students should be examined and revised. The aim of this research was to study and compare learning styles and their relation to hemispheric dominance in male and female engineering students. The results of this study indicated that engineering male and female students are different with regard to their perception and processing information and their learning styles. Also, there was a significant relationship between learning styles and hemispheric dominance. Findings of this study would be beneficial for appropriate instructional designs, especially in distance education.

Main purpose of this research is to comparative study of point of views of faculty members and administers Isfahan university about major barriers of faculty participation in e-learning courses. Second purpose of this research is to study probably relations between these barriers h n order to suggest some advises for rising level of faculty collaboration on this field. Type of this research is qualitive -quantitive. At the beginning of research, researcher designed a conceptual model based on literature and classified deterrents on three groups include personal, attitudinal and contextual inhibitors. Then, a researcher-made inventory provided based on this model and distributed on a sample include 50 faculty members of educational groups which present virtual courses in this university. Method of sampling was census. Friedman analysis Result indicated between the barriers, contextual inhibitors have the most inhibition against faculty participation. In qualitive part of research, researchers performed some semi-structured interview with five administers who were supervisor of holding courses. Analysis of this part was done by coding and categorization of interviews. Result of comparative study indicated being of contextual inhibitors reinforce effect of personal and attitudinal inhibitors.

The aim of this study is to review the impact of e-learning program on the dictation skills of third grade primary school students based on educational design principles. This study is full field in the form of quasi – experiment. Statistical society included 62 female students of shahid mahdavi third base elementary school of region one of Tehran city education. Sampling in this study is done using random sampling method. Samples divided to two equal control and experimental groups and the experimental group learned dictation lesson in three months using web based e-Learning program that was designed by the researcher and approved by the 16 relevant specialists in the ministry of education and universities. Control group were instructed using Traditional classroom method. Analysis of obtained data using statistical T test of independent groups showed that there is a significant relationship between the use of E-learning program of dictation and academic progress of third grade students of primary school in dictation lesson. Similarly, there is a significant difference between academic progress of students who learned dictation using web based program and students who learned dictation using traditional method. In addition, the findings showed that there is a significant difference between pre-requisite capabilities in dictation lesson including visual, Auditory and movement skills in the end test of experimental and control group showed significant differences between dictation and pre-requisite elements.
