Abstract

The purpose of research is designing and validating the E-learning model in in-service training in order to provide e-learning environment and learning opportunities for employees based on individual, vocational and organizational situation and validating the model. Research methods blended and research plan is exploratory blended that main elements and dimentiona of topic can be explained. The factors and dimentions of e-learning Model are collected through literature review and interview with subject matter experts and collected data is analysed. Finaly the E-learning Model is designed and validated internally and externaly. E-learning Model include three factors: E-learning policy making and steering, instructional designing based on pedagogy and andragogy principles and implementation and support. The factor is divided to several indexes and items that can be used in in-service training E-learning. The E-learning Model is validated using first, second and final of factorial analysis. External validation is validated implementing a E-learning course based on the items compared to face to face training course. E-learning course based on the items was  more effective than face to face training course.
