Abstract

The purpose of this study was "a comparative study of the methods of using new educational technologies in the universities of Iran and other Asian countries". This research was qualitative method and descriptive-comparative in terms of type. The field of research includes Iranian universities, which have benefited from the distance and virtual education system, e-learning and new technologies,, as well as open universities of the world including Japan and China, Indira Gandhi University of India, National University of India, APU University of Malaysia, Allameh Al-Iqbal University of Pakistan, University of Tarbaka Indonesia, Virtual University of Singapore, etc Anadolu University of Turkey was in 1402. The sampling method was purposive. The criteria for selecting these countries were universities that organize distance education. The unit of analysis was "technologies used." Information was collected through document screening, To compare the data, the four-step Brody method was used. The findings showed that the methods of using new educational technologies in Iranian universities are learning management system and mobile tools and to a limited extent MOOC courses, and in Asian universities there is also metaverse and artificial intelligence. New educational technologies in Iranian and Asian universities have similarities and differences in educational facilities and tools in the use of learning management systems. The obtained results have shown a reason for examining the different methods of educational technology and implementing the most appropriate method in the education process,
