Abstract

I am writing to thank you for publishing the interesting article titled: “The effect of Social Networks and Short Messages through e-Content on Reducing Negative Thoughts in Women”(1). In this article the authors have first developed an e-content and then accomplished the intervention. In this regard I should mention that nowadays, using e-contents in different kinds of education including mobile-based or webbased, synchronous or asynchronous are the necessities in educational settings. It is a pleasure that Iranian universities are taking steps toward the use of technology in their educational research, but these steps should be wisely in line with standards and qualifications. One of the most important components of e-learning discipline is e-content because, on the one hand, without content no education is imagined (2), and on the other hand, inappropriate content can disturb audience learning (3).
