Abstract :
In the following article, we have examined the advantages and disadvantages of virtual education and the student educational network (SHAD). By using SWOT analysis, plans and strategies have been developed in order to use SHAD system in post-corona era. In terms of purpose, the present research is a part of applied research, and in terms of research method, it is causal-comparative or post-event, analytical-qualitative. In this qualitative research, using a researcher-made questionnaire, we collected data from people involved in virtual education (teachers, students, administrative staff, and parents). The validity of the questionnaire was estimated at 0.87 using Cronbach's alpha method. According to the research, the main advantages and disadvantages of virtual education in the context of the happy system are: The ability to record educational content and review and repeat (opportunity), access to educational content available in the system (strength), the need for high-speed internet (weakness), and creation of physical and psychological problems for students (threat).
