Method:At first by reviewing the literature on the subject and library studies,the dimensions and components related to the subject were extracted and then to design the conceptual model of the research using the Delphi research method and an expert panel,the most important dimensions and components of Netiquette were determined.The statistical community included 15experts who were selected in relation to the research topic.
Results:the Netiquette model was finalized with 10dimensions and 31components.The dimensions in the Netiquette variable include setup,evaluation and Netiquette rules and in the e-learning variable it includes technology,education,management,user interface design,ethical,organizational and evaluation.The criteria for accepting each component was its placement in the 3rd to 4th quartile.In this regard according to the agreement,there is no need to continue the Delphi process.
