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.
