Abstract

The Coronavirus disease outbreak of 2019 (COVID-19) has fundamentally altered the nature of learning at all levels, from university to primary school. In Vietnam, continual learning is ensured through the use of video conferencing applications. Video conferencing is a teaching tool that is used to facilitate communication and engagement between professors and students during an epidemic. The study employs a unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) to ascertain the elements that influenced the adoption of video conferencing for online training in Vietnam during the COVID-19 pandemic. A survey of 203 instructors who have used video conferencing for instruction during the COVID-19 epidemic was conducted and evaluated using a structural equation model (SEM). The results indicate that significant elements influencing the use of video conferencing for teaching during Covid-19 include effort expectancy, habit, hedonic motivation, and behavioral intention to use, which together account for 59 percent of video conferencing for teaching usage (R2=0.59).
