10. Summary of the thesis results:

IT equipment includes machines, tools, and spare parts used in IT applications; specifically, computers, computer software, computer connection devices, and transmission equipment. IT equipment is used in teaching and scientific research activities such as lesson planning, lecture preparation, lecture presentations, research projects, and final exams. Evaluating the effectiveness of IT equipment use in research and teaching at universities involves comparing the results achieved with the initial plans and objectives. The evaluation of the effectiveness of IT equipment use in research and teaching primarily focuses on teaching, scientific research, social, and economic perspectives.

At the University of Natural Sciences, IT equipment has been used in research and teaching activities for many years. The university has also issued regulations on the management and use of IT equipment in teaching and research activities with the aim of improving efficiency. Research results show that there are still many shortcomings in the management and effective exploitation of IT equipment. Regulations on the use and management of IT equipment are not yet specific, consistent, or clear, thus creating certain difficulties in managing and exploiting IT equipment for teaching and scientific research.

This thesis proposes several recommendations to improve the efficiency of using IT equipment in teaching and scientific research activities from now until 2020, focusing on perfecting regulations for managing and using IT equipment; training and developing IT equipment management personnel; and evaluating the annual efficiency of using equipment in category B.

1. Practical applications: at the University of Natural Sciences

IT equipment are machinery, tools, spare parts ... serving the IT application activities; namely, computers, computer software, computer equipment connection, transmission equipment ... IT Equipment used in the teaching and scientific research, such as drafting lesson plans, lectures, presented lectures, as a subject, final examination. Assessing the effectiveness of IT equipment used in research and teaching at universities is comparable with the results of the plan, its initial target. Assessing the effectiveness of IT equipment used in research and teaching focuses on teaching perspective, scientific research, social perspective and an economic perspective.

At the University of Sciences, the IT equipment used in research and teaching for many years. The University has also issued regulations to manage the IT equipment used in teaching and research aimed at enhancing efficiency. Regulations on the use, management of IT equipment were not specific, uniform, obviously, so there are certain difficulties in the management and use of IT equipment for teaching and scientific research purposes.

The research results show that there are still many concerns in management and effective exploitation of IT equipment. The thesis proposes a number of recommendations to improve the efficiency of IT equipment used in teaching and scientific research in the period from now to 2020. Yearly, focus to perfecting the management and use of IT equipment; training of IT equipment staff, evaluate the effectiveness of using equipments in group B.
