Tools for learning, named video conferencing tools (VCTs, e.g. Zoom, Skype), were in urgent need of learning for the higher education students in Vietnam, for the outbreak of COVID-19 epidemic was in the first days of February 2019. This study focused on female students to examine their experience in this way of learning. The data were referred from the dataset of (Dinh Hai Luong & Xuan An Nguyen, 2020) which was on Vietnamese students' technology acceptance model in learning in COVID-19 pandemic. Data for descriptive statistics, reliability analyses and correlation analysis consisted of 254 records. Perceptions of Vietnamese female students related three factors: Perceived usefulness (PU), Perceived ease of use (PEU), and Attitudes (ATT). Results revealed that the easier in using VCTs, the more effectiveness in learning and the perceived usefulness can impact their attitude and inverse. Additionally, it is clear that the attitude of students in using VCTs has been strongly impacted by the perceived usefulness, and the perceived ease of use. The VCTs have proved its considerable effectiveness in the ways of learning for female students of higher education whilst Vietnam had been influenced by COVID-19 outbreak. These applications, therefore, should be further considered that its positive distributions can much more be made beyond any short-term crises.
