Online lectures are the first choice in the context of long-lasting and complicated Covid-19
pandemic given their advantages. However, teachers say distance learning has many issues
which need to be solved to achieve the set goals.
The biggest advantage of online classes is that all materials, discussion questions and tests are
stored on an online platform; therefore, students can easily access these contents anytime and
anywhere. Lectures will be broadcast live for many students at the same time and could be
recorded to be replayed.
Nevertheless, talking to Hanoitimes, Dao Van Diep, a teacher of Hanoi-based Lomonosov My
Dinh Primary School pointed out some disadvantages of online classes.
"The most outstanding one is that in the online environment, teachers cannot remind their
students, and there is not any specific timetable so that students can follow", Diep said. "In
addition, there are some other barriers such as equipment, transmission lines, interactions
between learners and teachers. As students are not familiar with the online method, it's hard to
get their focus on the lecture which sometimes is interrupted due to poor transmission speed."
"The biggest shortcoming of online classes is the way of testing and evaluating students. I am
struggling to find out what kind of test should be used to best assess my students. When we let
students take the test from a distance, it is very difficult to ensure they do the test honestly. We
need the instructions from the Ministry of Education and Training on this matter," Diep said.
In a phone interview with Hanoitimes, Tran Thi Hai Yen, managing director of Alpha School in
Hanoi said that her school has made a big investment in online teaching infrastructure and
developed an online teaching plan during the Covid-19 pandemic. However, since the municipal
Department of Education and Training has prohibited schools from collecting tuition fees, it is
difficult to implement because schools with paid education do not have backup funding for free
teaching.
