Although social softwares are interactive and communication tools that play an effective role in the field of learning and teaching, unfortunately, the interactive educational method using web2 tools is a new approach in Iran. In the other hand, the learning management system used by many virtual universities to improve the learning and learning process of students has some shortcomings and problems. According to research conducted by researchers, the combination of a learning management system and a social software in universities has reduced many of these constraints. The purpose of this research is to provide a model for utilizing social soft wares in a learning management system. In this regard, the research strategy is to provide a research model and validate it. This research is applied in terms of purpose, and in terms of information gathering, it is a descriptive survey. The data gathering tool was a researcher made questionnaire. Sampling method is targeted judgment. Therefore, by reviewing the literatures, first, the capabilities of various social softwares (wiki, blog, social networking, podcast and tag) were identified in the field of learning and education and a model for using these softwares in each module of the learning management system in order to overcome some of the problems caused by these systems in virtual universities were provided. Then, the proposed model was approved by a survey of 15 experts in the fields of e-learning and communications and media. Based on the findings of the analysis of the collected data, the use of various social softwares in the LMS modules was confirmed and ranked in importance.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of problem solving training on entrepreneurship and its dimensions and problem solving in distance learning students. The research method was quasi-experimental with control and experimental groups with pre- and posttest design.The statistical population of this research included distance education students of Payam Noor University and through the available sampling, 20 of them were in the experimental group and 20 in the control group. The research tool was the Entrepreneurship Questionnaire of Kordnaich et al (2008) and the Hepner problem solving questionnaire (1982). For data analysis, Manova test and covariance analysis were used. The Research results showed that problem solving training had an impact on entrepreneurship and problem solving in experimental group students. The greatest impact of this training on entrepreneurship dimensions on the challenge dimension was 0.54 and also on the problem solving ability of students was 0.67. Because challenge is the capability of individuals to cope with daily problems and face challenges and based on the research results, problem solving training can increase this ability in students;it is recommended that problem solving instruction be developed to enhance students' skills and educated through academic and educational programs.
