This is considered one of the eight important fields of the National Digital Transformation, so it needs to take advantage of opportunities to be able to train high-quality human resources according to international standards. Beside, the Covid-19 pandemic has quickly put pressure on the previously predicted trends in education such as the “Future University”.

The data is built based on the TAM model and sociological investigation method to collect multidimensional information from many perspectives of different individuals to have a basis for assessing the level of influence.

The authors distributed the questionnaire online and collected 913 valid responses.
