Based on the results of one-sample t-test for high school students, the average components of learner's individual characteristics, satisfaction and interest in virtual education, teacher characteristics and teaching methods, infrastructure and technology, and access with an average above average (3), Were evaluated as favorable (P <0.01), but the mean component of happy network characteristic with a mean below the average (3) was not considered desirable (P <0.01). According to the results of Friedman rank test, the highest mean rank was related to the factor of learner's individual characteristics with a rank of 3.92 and the lowest mean rank was related to the happy network characteristic factor with a rank of 1.92. Factors of teacher characteristics and teaching method (3.26), infrastructure and technology and teaching (2.97), satisfaction and interest in education (2.89) were in the second, third and fourth ranks.
