This study aims to explore the advantages and disadvantages of distance learning in universities in the context of increasing demand for socialized learning. Theoretical and practical studies show that, in addition to the advantages of meeting the needs of regular learning, learning at any time and any place, distance learning also presents difficulties such as little interaction with teachers, little connection with members of the class, and a learning environment that does not stimulate the initiative and creativity of learners. To properly assess the advantages and disadvantages of distance learning in universities, based on theoretical references, this study surveyed 121 people who are managers, lecturers, and students teaching at several universities. Based on the survey results, combined with previous studies and assessments, comparing and contrasting the results achieved, analyzing the underlying causes, this study recommends solutions to promote favorable factors and overcome difficulties in distance education of universities in the context of increasing learning needs.
