摘要：Many organizations have adopted ICTs as a solution for their corporate training. The AgriculturalInsurance fund (AIF) also has considered the necessity of using ICTs for training brokers that areworking throughout the country and have direct interaction with policy holders. As a result,designing an ICT based training system is crucial for creating the new opportunities for brokers toupdate their information. Statistical population of the study consisted of 4903 private agriculturalinsurance brokers in Iran. Based on the classification of the AIF which has divided these centersinto six regions and using the stratified sampling technique and the results from the pilot test, 235brokers were surveyed.The initial and follow-up mailing generated 216 useable responses frombrokers resulting in a response rate of 91%. In this research, it has been found some factors thatshould be considered before implementation of the system. Namely, (1) ordinal logistic regressionindicated that the factors which affect on designing an ICT-based training system are technical,financial, instructors, and learner factors; (2) The ordinal factor analysis classified the challengesinto four latent variables named organizational, social, human, and technical challenges. (3) Theordinal coefficient of variation pointed out the most important challenge of the ICT-based trainingmethods which are bandwidth, low quality, updating and screen size respectively forsynchronous, asynchronous, CDand mobile learning. Finally a conceptual framework ispresented for the ICT training system
