With the help of the Learning Management system, it can offer a variety of web-based content that has been welcomed in recent years. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of e-learning by Moodle method on communication skills with two variables of assertive and social adjustment of students. The research method was quasi-experimental with control and experimental group. The statistical population was students of Allameh Tabataba'i University in the academic year of 2016-17. Bell's social adjustment questionnaire (with a reliability of 0.89) and the Gambrill & Richey Assertion Inventory (with a reliability of 0.88) were used as a research tool. 170 questionnaires were distributed among the students of the faculty of Psychology and then, according to the data obtained, 50 people with the lowest level of social adjustment and assertiveness were selected. All subjects were randomly assigned into two groups of experimental and control. The experimental group received eight sixty-minute sessions with the help of e-learning, training on social assertiveness and social skills, and the control group trained in a conventional way. Data were analyzed by Covariance method. The results showed a significant difference between the control and experimental groups and this difference was in favor of the experimental group. Based on this research, it can be concluded that electronic learning improves communication skills.
