Research background Progress in science and technology has posed profound impacts on our modern society. Thanks to advanced technology, education has experienced evolution of different educational forms throughout the history. From the traditional styles of teaching in classroom context characterized by face-to-face interaction between teachers and students, the new concept of distance learning was created based on the emergence of computer-based learning as well as video lectures and television programs (Holmberg, 2005). The following generation of distance education is the emergence of e-learning inspired by the expansion of internet access with emphasis on web-based learning (Saykili, 2018). Recently, the birth of massive open online courses (MOOCs) was remarked as a new wave of distance education with highlights of increasing interaction among participants and meeting increasing demand from a huge number of learners regardless of geographical location (Tracey, 2013). The evolution of online education throughout the timeline of history has proved its potentials of expanding application and integration in all levels of education. Moreover, the phenomenon of industrial revolution 4.0 is believed to make changes in all aspects of our life (Hussin, 2018). Then, impacts on different educational levels are inevitable. Particularly, in responding to the fourth industrial revolution, higher education (HE) has experienced considerable changes in terms of curriculums, pedagogical approaches, teaching methods as well as functions of education. As a result, higher educational institutions (HEIs) are supposed to adapt and make appropriate changes to increase access and meet increasing demands of learners. Also, current trends of educational development in the age of 4.0 industrial revolution focus on innovation in teaching methods and learning approach (Hussin, 1 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail. For instance, it is stated that there has been an increasing tendency of developing flexible learning approach regardless of time and space limitation. Moreover, students are considered as the central focus of the learning environment in which courses are designed in responding to trending requirement of learners. Research rationales In Vietnam, there has been a boom in online educational market with diversified e- learning providers and various forms of online learning (Le, 2017). For tertiary education, since 2000s, universities started to show interests in e-learning application in higher education and initiated the trend of integrating e-learning in programs for Bachelor’s or Master’s degrees (Nguyen, 2016). Therefore, increasing demand for e-learning programs in higher educational environment has made it necessary for universities and e-learning providers to apply effectively e-learning approach for the purpose of attaining undergraduate and post- graduate programs. More importantly, there has been a limitation in policy documents on governmental direction of higher educational e-learning model development and regulations for management of e-learning providers’ activities in the online educational market. For instance, the Ministry of Education and Training have issued only two documents in 2016 and 2017 on application of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in online education and regulation of distance higher education. Consequently, it is essential for policy makers to provide more specific regulations to manage operation and activities of e-learning providers in Vietnamese markets. Research significance and objectives Significance of the study:  Higher educational institutions & e-learning providers  Policy makers 2 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com Objectives of the research The research aims at providing an overview of the current situation of e-learning application in higher education in Vietnam and an insight into the operation of an e- learning institution. From comparative analysis and discussion of a case study of an online educational model, the paper, then, proposes policy recommendation to help e-learning institutions apply effectively e-learning in higher education in the context of Vietnam. Research questions The main research question: How can e-learning providers improve their application of e-learning in higher education in Vietnam? Research sub-questions: 1) What is the current situation of e-learning in HE in Vietnam in terms of e- learning application types and provision of higher educational degrees? 2) What is the procedure of developing & delivering an online course and its influencing factors? 3) What are advantages of e-learning application in HE comparing to traditional method of education? 4) What are shortcomings and existing challenges to e-learning providers in applying e-learning in HE (in terms of developing online courses and providing university degree? 5) What policy recommendation should be made to enable e-learning providers to utilize advantages and tackle difficulties in the process of e-learning application in higher education? 3 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com CHAPTER 2 – LITERATURE REVIEW 2. Empirical reviews of previous studies Many studies have been conducted about the state of e-learning application in HE in both developed and developing countries. These papers have provided an insight into effects that e-learning have posed on changes in higher educational programs and current status of the process integrating e-learning in HE. Studies on impacts of e-learning on education E-learning has been proved in a number of recent research to pose significant effects on education in general and HE in specific. In terms of e-learning impacts on the educational system, Agarwal & Pandey (2013) on a paper published in International Journal of Science and Research emphasized benefits for both educators and learners. In comparison with traditional way of teaching, e-learning has been stated to be less expensive because of reduced cost for provider sides in terms of campus infrastructure, printed materials and other necessary facilities for face-to-face learning. Also, thanks to this type of distance learning, learners can save both money and time for travelling (to their learning location) and even cost of renting accommodation (when studying far from their hometown) (Agarwal & Pandely, 2013). In addition, e-learning with flexibility is believed to release teachers and learners from pressures of time (Mentis, 2017). As online courses can be accessed anywhere and anytime so that learners can choose their own suitable learning pace with less conflicting to their private business and schedule. Emerging of e-learning and effects on traditional higher educational institutions More importantly, changing from traditional method to online education has made remarkable changes in the higher educational institutions (HEIs). A study conducted by University of Wolverhampton for Journal of University Teaching and Learning 4 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com practice in the United Kingdom have shown some key features in the impacts of e- learning in higher education (Singh et al. The authors, firstly, indicated effects of e-learning in HEIs as the organizational structure of a university and its connection with industry would experience changes. For instance, HEIs are supposed to have a more flexible organizational structure in response to increasing emergence of advanced technology and application of ICT in learning and teaching methods. The researchers also emphasized the need for cooperation between traditional universities and businesses, in particularly private educational providers (in a form of corporate universities) to provide online program with the aims of meeting increasing market demand from part-time students.
