The main purpose of this article was to present a model to produce a student-learning network at advanced studies at Tehran Azad Universities. In this research, a qualitative approach was used to reach a functional goal. The database of this research was collected from experts in the domain of learning and educational management with experience in virtual learning. For the deep interviews, the samples were collected based on the targeted sampling to reach theoretical saturation using the snowball sampling technique. To collect the data and information required for the questionnaire, a semi structured interview was. In order to analyze the data, three overlapped processes, containing an open coding, axial coding, and selective coding, were implemented. The results of the experiment showed that learning in a network, team working, and interaction between members were the focal points .Student’s motivation, learning network planning and managing, and facilities played active roles in the development of students’ learning network at the advanced studies level and without these factors, learning network would not be accomplished. The determining factors in this research included students’ difficulties and challenges, the university atmosphere, and conflicts between students and faculties. In addition, conflicts between students and the university was considered an interruptive parameter in this paradigm pattern. The outcome of electing qualified managers, in this research, includes individuals’ positive consequences, positive organizational results, and negative outcomes.
