Abstract
<p style="text-align:justify">The article mentions the impact of the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic on online learning in Vietnamese higher education in 2020. This is a qualitative case study, by using in-depth interviews to explore the changes in the perception, methods, and orientation of online learning of students and lecturers at a key pedagogical university when experiencing the three COVID-19 outbreaks in Vietnam. The findings show that the COVID-19 pandemic has a positive impact on the developmental orientation of online learning at the Vietnamese higher education level. Even though at the time of an outbreak, opposition and dissatisfaction with online learning occurred; but through the three outbreaks, together with the efforts of lecturers and students, online learning in Vietnam has recorded remarkable achievements. This is a prerequisite for the development of online education and the innovation of digital technology in education.</p>

Summary
Online learning (OL) is education's best way to cope with the global challenges posed by the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. With the increasing number of schools forced to close and there is no time to return to normal activities. OL is the only solution that helps students can continue to hone their knowledge and skills even when there are no conditions to go to school (Adedoyin & Soykan, 2020). After World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a global pandemic, schools, colleges, and universities closed to avoid crowds and turned entirely to online teaching and learning (Dhawan, 2020). Applying technology in education with the OL method at home is currently the only solution for all schools around the world (Nambiar, 2020)
