A . Department of Education survey found that as of fall 1996, 65 percent of universities had access to the Internet; penetration had increased by 15 percentage points in each of the prior 2 years. The Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) estimated that in 2000, . universities had million computers for use in instruction. But in Viet Nam, instead of being fully aware of that, we failed to apply it successfully. So what are the reasons? Inadequate facilities, lack of qualified manpower, limitation on development of technology and the deficiency of infrastructure when referring to this problem. In fact, the impact on the bulk of teaching and learning has been minimal. Developments in paper/printing technologies have had far more influence, with the consequence that face-to-face discussion and paper resources still dominate public education.

In an attempt to handle the knowledge, students have no choice except for the traditional means such as coming to libraries to read printed materials.
