Background: The evolution of information technology has affected all sectors of society including education. The precondition for the use of E-learning is the existence of contexts and clear view about it. The aim of this study was to determine the possibility of holding virtual training course at the School of Nursing and Midwifery, Islamic Azad University, from the perspective of faculty member.

Data were collected through questionnaires including 54 questions with 5-point Likert scale and in the 7 domains of technological, human, leadership and management, administrative and support, cultural and social, economic and pedagogical. Validity and reliability were evaluated and confirmed (Cronbach's alpha coefficient 87%). Answers were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics (One- sample T test and Eta correlation) using SPSS (ver19) software.
Results: The average of responses for all domains was higher than the average (P<0.0001).
