Besides, it also a means to achieve one of the 17 sustainable development goals of the United Nations which is the provision of quality education and promotion of lifelong learning. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to some realizations. The sudden shift to online learning affected the lives of educators, academic staff and students alike. The digital divide has also become more apparent as many students did not only have access to desktop computers and laptops but mobile data charges could also be expensive. Moreover, the digital skills of teachers and learners to enable them to teach and learn online were not readily available. The use of e-learning enables students to develop digital competencies. In e-learning, they build their online skills as well as expand their technological capacities. Hence, this paper aims to discuss e-learning and digital literacy in the Philippines, including: Discuss the rise of e-learning and digital literacy in the Philippines in the context of the University of the Philippines Open University; Present the challenges of e-learning and digital literacy in the country; Discuss the strategies adopted by the government related to digital literacy and e-learning; and Present prospects and perspectives on the future of e-learning and digital literacy in the Philippines.

Physical education (PE) is currently one of the top concerns of education in modern society, given its critical role in promoting sustainable development of human capital in society. Different from the high priority of physical education in the educational system of developed countries, this subject has not been given sufficient focus in many developing countries, including Vietnam. This article aims to provide a dataset of self-awareness and perception about PE practices of 1069 PE teachers at elementary schools from 26 provinces throughout Vietnam. Some recommended analysis techniques to utilize this dataset are also proposed. The dataset is expected to provide the necessary materials for further research about PE practices in developing contexts, which facilitates educators and policymakers to acquire a better understanding of PE promotion in an educational setting.

The growth of information technology is changing the way of teaching and learning in higher education. E-learning system is a part of this change, which help students and instructions interact become easier. Learning management system (LMS) becomes more innovative and useful for learning activities regarding time and location. This paper examine the mediating role of perceived usefulness and self-efficacy on student satisfaction of LMS. We adopted the extended information system (IS) success model with perceived usefulness and self-efficacy as mediator. The model was tested with 220 students in University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City who use a LMS for most of the course they took. Partial least squares (PLS) technique is employed to test the possible mediating effects. The PLS analysis results revealed that Perceived usefulness fully mediate the relationship between service quality to learner satisfaction of LMS. Furthermore, research found that Perceived usefulness play as partially mediator which mediate the relationship between information quality and system quality with learner satisfaction
