Applying Educational Technology to Higher Education in Vietnam Opportunities and Challenges

Industry 4.0 is happening at a very fast pace, with many impacts on Vietnamese education, both advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, big programs such as investing in modern infrastructure, information technology and communication training people who are dynamic, independent, creative, capable of integrating well to start their businesses are becoming urgent requirements to develop countries. In particular, training labor force to meet the requirements of development and integration of the society is at the heart of development strategies that every country must pay attention to. Therefore, higher education is more and more focused and improved in Vietnam these days. This paper discusses educational technology that has been applied in Dong Nai Technology University DNTU , which is known as one of prestigious universities in the south of Vietnam. It is expected that innovations in educational technology would facilitate students to develop themselves and make a great contribution of human resources to the society although those innovations have brought opportunities and challenges to Vietnamese universities in general and to DNTU in particular. The authors also propose recommendations to Vietnamese policy makers in terms of higher education.
