The present study aimed to appraise the conformity of Amir Kabir University’s e-learning presentation style to instructional events of Gagne & Briggs instructional design model. The study was of a descriptive and analytical nature. The population included all the main and technical courses of electrical and telecommunication engineering in Amir Kabir University’s e-learning courses in the academic year 2012-2013. Available sampling was employed for the purpose of the study. The research instrument consisted of the researcher-made checklist which was designed based on instructional events of Gagne & Briggs instructional design model. In order to probe the validity of the instrument, face validity was employed. Using Cronbach alpha, the reliability of the instrument was calculated 0.88. In order for data collection, experts observed offline e-learning course for 5 sessions. Then, based on their observations, they completed the checklist. The results of the study indicated that Amir Kabir University’s e-learning presentation style was not in conformity with instructional events of Gagne & Briggs instructional design model (p<0.05).
