Abstract
Online training has been a common form of training all over the world for many years ago; however, it is only a side choice alongside offline training. Not only students but also lecturers prefer offline training to online training. However, in some cases of force majeure, specifically the nCov-19 flu pandemic, online training is considered the best way to teach. This study is based on the Technology Acceptance Model 2 (TAM2) to learn about the lecturers' adoption of using the learning management system (LMS) at universities in Vietnam. Mixed research methods are used to achieve the research objectives. Online group discussions, as well as online surveys, were conducted to collect data to analyze and test the hypotheses as well as the theoretical model. The results of the study are similar to the conclusions of TAM2. Thereby, the study proposes managerial implications to improve the lecturers' adoption.

Keywords
