Online learning is quite new to both learners and lecturers, requiring self-discipline in study, posing some challenges for both instructors and students in terms of labor force and infrastructures. However, it is a must during the COVID-19 outbreak and it requires effort of both lecturers and students. When back to school, students will be given time to do some revision of online lessons, according to Dr. Phan Phien.
