Abstract: Abstract In dealing with the global pandemic, many sectors have extensive crisis management research to lean on but education has been virtually overlooked. With the recent global pandemic, the role of Internet of Things has been greater than ever before as most of economic activities have moved to online platforms. Education sector is one of the most heavily impacted where the immediate effect of lockdowns has been closure of schools, universities, colleges. Lockdowns sprung on everyone and everything, not just mode of studies, but also wellbeing, course effectiveness, student tuition, teacher’s income. Despite the ever-presiding change resistance in academia, digitization of education took place almost instantaneously. The COVID-19 pandemic acted as an accelerator for education digital transformation utilizing a wide variety of digital solutions to facilitate classroom teaching and learning. Through a survey of 913 Vietnamese students, this study seeks to explore the digitization of education in Vietnam and its implications on Vietnamese students. The author expects to explore the students’ readiness for digital transformation and their utilization of IoT in higher education through a quantitative regression analysis. Results show that students’ readiness for digital transformation is positively correlated with all four independent factors and in the following respective order of importance: COVID-19, self-study ability, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness and attitude.
