The e-learning system as an educational approach of the present age has always been faced with complexity of the interaction and quality of Collaboration in learning, hence the experts in this field have prepared different solutions. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the various types of interaction in e-learning with collaborative learning quality. This study is a descriptive-correlational and conducted through a survey method. The statistical population of the study consisted of 172 undergraduate students of e-learning in environmental education, Using Cochran's formula, 120 of them were selected by simple random sampling and completed a researcher-made questionnaire whose validity and reliability were confirmed. The research findings were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results of Pearson correlation coefficient show that there is a meaningful and direct relation between the types of interaction (teacher-student, student-student, student-content, content-teacher, teacher-teacher) with collaborative learning quality in e-learning, While There was no significant relationship between interaction (content-content) and the quality of collaborative learning. Also, the results of the Friedman test, used to rank the types of interaction, showed that student-student interaction had the most importance in collaborative learning, and the interaction between "teacher-teacher" and "content-content" had the least importance among types Interactions. Therefore, it seems that the interactivity that exists between students ensures the quality of collaborative learning in e-learning.

Expanding of human communities and urban development led to some phenomena such as the destruction and pollution of environment. This problem is not only limited to one country or a specific territory, but also the entire world, and contains too many issues. Thus, the different experts have different solutions. Accordingly, the purpose of this article is to study the role of ICT-based education in reducing the environmental crisis. This study used a descriptive analysis of the data collection library documents, including identification, investigation, classification of information, analysis and summary information on the subject of study and how to improve their environmental challenges using ICT-based education is discussed. The results showed that, the educational system can eliminate distance and reduce migration from the rural areas to urban areas for achieving high-quality educational system and prevent the consequences of population density in cities, and help to reduce environmental problems, especially in urban environments due to the characteristics of ICI- based education systems such as flexibility in time and place. Also, the knowledge is the key to environmental protection, ICT- oriented educational system can provide environmental awareness to all supported learners, in order to improve the environmental challenges.
