The landscape of education is undergoing a profound shift. Following the surge of online learning as an emergency response during the pandemic, we are not returning entirely to traditional classrooms. Instead, we are moving toward a more evolved form of instruction: the era of OMO (Online-Merge-Offline) – a model that blurs the boundaries between digital space and physical reality.

At the insightful session "Re-inventing Education – OMO Unlocks the Future!" during EDUCON 2025, Mr. Bao Khoi – Solution Manager at ClassIn Vietnam – shared strategic perspectives on how OMO is reshaping the global teaching and learning ecosystem.

1. What is the OMO Model and Why is it Inevitable?

OMO (Online-Merge-Offline) is not simply about learning online and offline simultaneously (Hybrid Learning). The key difference lies in the word "Merge." It is a deep integration where data, interaction, and learning resources across both environments are synchronized in real-time.

In the digital age, learners are no longer confined within four classroom walls or tied exclusively to a computer screen. OMO enables:

• Breaking Geographical Barriers: Students in remote areas can vividly attend classes hosted in major cities.
• Resource Optimization: A high-quality educator can teach hundreds of students across multiple locations while maintaining personalized interaction.
• Data-Driven Learning Journeys: Every student interaction, whether a classroom speech or an in-app assignment, is recorded to analyze proficiency.

2. A Seamless and Personalized Learning Experience

According to Mr. Bao Khoi’s insights at EDUCON 2025, the greatest value OMO offers is seamlessness. A student can start a lesson in a physical classroom, continue a group discussion via an online platform on the way home, and complete an interactive quiz in the evening.

This flexibility makes education more "friendly" to modern lifestyles. More importantly, OMO allows teachers to design personalized learning pathways. Based on data from the OMO platform, the system can identify which student is struggling with a specific concept and provide timely support, rather than applying a "one-size-fits-all" lesson plan.

3. Smart Classroom Technology: The Teacher’s Ultimate Assistant

A highlight of the EDUCON session was the role of technology in empowering educators. With solutions like ClassIn, smart classrooms are no longer a futuristic concept. OMO technology helps teachers:

• Enhance Interaction: Use interactive whiteboard tools and gamification to engage both in-person and online students at the same time.
• Efficient Classroom Management: Automate attendance, assignment collection, and grading, allowing teachers to spend more time mentoring and inspiring students.
• Expand Creative Spaces: Teachers can easily invite international experts to join a session via a large classroom screen, bringing global practical knowledge to their students.

4. Strategic Vision from ClassIn and Education Vietnam

The presence of ClassIn – a leader in interactive learning solutions in Vietnam – confirms that OMO is not a short-term fix. It is a long-term strategy for any educational institution aiming to thrive in the future.

Implementing OMO requires a shift in managerial mindset, teacher readiness, and robust technological infrastructure. The practical lessons shared by Mr. Bao Khoi at EDUCON 2025 have motivated the Vietnamese educational community to embrace change for a breakthrough.

5. Conclusion: Looking Toward Education Vietnam 2026

The journey of re-inventing education continues with the rapid advancement of technology. The OMO model is the foundation upon which we build a future of learning without boundaries, where every learner has the opportunity to access the highest quality of knowledge.
