The data of this study were collected through interviews and research literature of library studies (content validity was confirmed above 70% and reliability was obtained with the retest method after a two-week test) and were analyzed with thematic analysis and three rounds of Delphi. Then, by transforming the relationship matrix and creating consistency in the relationship matrix, the ISM graph was drawn and the type of variables was also determined using MICMAC analysis. According to the analysis of interviews and library studies and research literature, virtual education in Farhangian University was in the form of 12 variables. These 12 variables were stratified in 5 levels. In the fifth level, management, in the fourth level, organizational, pedagogical and technological factors, in the third level, ease of access, knowledge management and flexibility in education, in the second level, educational quality, support services, information and content and measurability,
