In order to validate the questionnaire before distribution, the questions and their correctness were checked by 5 experts and all the ambiguities in the questions were corrected. Also, the reliability of the questionnaire was confirmed after calculating Cronbach's alpha of 0.64. Factors.affecting the effectiveness of e-learning content that were identified in the quantitative section and ranked by interpretive structural modeling. The findings showed that 13 factors influence the effectiveness of e-learning content. Also, the criteria that measure the effectiveness of e-learning content are satisfaction, increasing knowledge, retaining knowledge, increasing skills, improving performance, and reducing additional cognitive load of learners as a result of participating in e-learning courses.
