Online teaching or e-learning allows learners to participate in a virtual classroom environment based on web and based on digital applications or digital tools, to interact with learning content and (possibly) with teacher and other peers from a long distance to achieve learning goals defined by their learning needs. The article provides some theoretical backgrounds of online teaching related to the advantages and limitations of online teaching, the forms of online teaching (synchronous learning, asynchronous learning, blended learning), structure of implementing an online course supporting dialogical and deep learning. The article also shares the experiences of Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Education (HCMUTE) in implementing online teaching, especially asynchronous teaching on learning management systems (LMS, FHQLMS) and gives some recommendations for lecturers to improve the quality of organizing online courses. Based on the theoretical analysis method with the literature review and the synthesis of practical education experience from HCMUTE, a four-step and 5W-1H online course design process is suggested
