The current study explained the structural relationship between readiness for change, social capital, and teachers' tendency to participate. The current research was applied in terms of purpose and was a correlation type in descriptive-survey research. This study's statistical population includes all education teachers in Fars province in 2021-22, and 500 were selected using random class sampling. The research tool included three questionnaires on readiness for organizational change, the tendency to participate, and social capital, which were distributed and collected after calculating validity and reliability. This research showed 1) a positive and significant relationship between teachers' perception of social capital and teachers' tendency to participate and 2) a positive and significant relationship between teachers' readiness for change and their tendency to participate.  In addition, the simultaneous relationship between readiness for change and social capital with teachers' tendency to participate concluded that the variable of readiness for change is a positive and significant predictor of the tendency to participate, but social capital does not significantly predict the tendency to participate

This paper presents the results of a virtual ethnographic study developed in an online classroom in a public university in Brazil. The online activities aimed to help 70 students to develop English oral skills in a 60-hourcoursetaught along 15 weeks using the Moodle Language Management System (LMS).After the initial weeks, and some dropouts, there were 59 participants in this study. The course was planned and managed by the authors of this article and some modifications were made along the experience in face of unexpected changes in the learning environment. Having as theoretical support complexity, connectivism, and learning ecology, we assessed digital tools for oral communication and verified that they had a positive impact on language learningand increased learners’ opportunities for language practice. The tools not only contributed to the development of the students’ oral skills but also decreased their anxiety when speaking English.

The conditions of the corona virus forced online education with LMS (learning management system).

The average values of the ratings showed that the indices of "Professor", Information Technology" and "University Support" had the highest average and the most importance, and the index of "Contextual Factors" had the least importance. Based on the ratio test, the factors "teacher ", "electronic interaction” and “Access to facilities” are desirable factors.”University support and support" has been evaluated as a low desirability. There is a significant difference between the evaluations of the desirability of the quality of e-learning indicators and gender.Multivariate regression analysis showed that among the independent variables entered into the equation, the variables of the “Electronic lesson score”, “The teacher's interest and friendly behavior toward all students”, “Inviting students to use electronic education”, “Evaluation of face-to-face training” and” Ease of use of electronic education system” have the greatest impact on evaluating the desirability of electronic education that could explain 73% of the variance of the changes related to the dependent variable. The variables have been able to explain 73% of the variance of changes related to the dependent variable.
