Abstract
Aim: This research aimed to study the students' actions in the virtual technical and vocational training of the SHAD system, emphasizing the concepts of multistability and transparency.

Method: The method of this research was post-phenomenological.

Sample and Instruments: The lived experience of several students of girls' and boys' art schools in Malard city was analyzed using interviews.

Results: Factors such as sedimentation and digital distraction have been effective in strengthening multistability and have led to appropriate and inappropriate habits such as self-management and reducing learning time, and the various functions of the SHAD system have been emphasized. Regarding transparency, issues such as the normalization process; repetition and practice, and a sense of immersion; are reinforced by positive ambiguity. Identifying and overcoming distractions and communication strategies such as closing messages enhance focus.

Conclusion: The mediation of the SHAD system has expanded the temporal and spatial possibilities and the degree of freedom of action of the students. Increasing the efficiency of learning in the group to understand actions and the difference in the type of knowledge of the content presented has been in line with reducing multistability and increasing transparency.
