Results:In the present study 57.0% were girls90.2% were familiar with computer more than 3 past years. 70.4% used computer over 3 hours in week. The most score was in using web explorer.Sixty nine and four percent had positive attitude. There was not significant correlation between academic year, sex and attitude. There was significant correlation between familiar with computer, using internet, dental school hard ware quality and attitude
Conclusion:Based on the results of the present study about two third of students had positive attitude about electronic learning. Students’ experience about using web exploring was good. There was significant correlation between dental school hard ware quality and attitude .
