10. Summary of the thesis results:

IT equipment is machinery, tools, spare parts... serving IT application activities; specifically computers, computer software, computer connection devices, transmission devices... IT equipment is used in teaching and scientific research activities such as: preparing lesson plans, lectures, presenting lectures, making topics, and taking final exams. Evaluating the effectiveness of using IT equipment in research and teaching at universities is to compare the implementation results with the original plan and goals. Evaluating the effectiveness of using IT equipment in research and teaching mainly focuses on the teaching, scientific research, social and economic aspects.

At the University of Natural Sciences, IT equipment has been used in research and teaching activities for many years. The school has also issued regulations on the management of the use of IT equipment in teaching and research activities with the aim of improving the efficiency of use. 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 specific, unified, and clear, so there are certain difficulties in the management and exploitation of IT equipment for teaching and scientific research.

The thesis proposes a number of recommendations to improve the efficiency of using IT equipment in teaching and scientific research activities from now to 2020, focusing on perfecting regulations on management and use of IT equipment; training and fostering IT equipment management staff, and evaluating the annual efficiency of using table B equipment.

1. Practical application: at the University of Natural Sciences
2. Further research directions: (if any)

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.
