Go Green With Online Learning - WorldWideLearn.com
WorldWideLearn.com, the world's premier online education directory, has published a new article titled "Nine Ways to Save the World with Your College Degree." The featured article reveals the environmental benefits associated with online learning. Though little research has yet been done on this topic in the U.S., a number of European organizations have already released studies quantifying the environmental impact of the higher education sector and establishing the "potential of the Internet and other e-learning methods to radically reduce energy consumption and emissions," according to the WorldWideLearn.com article. Conserving natural resources is only the tip of the iceberg. An online learning program also enables students to strengthen global communities and build awareness of environmental responsibilities. "The results of the European studies are quite astounding," says WorldWideLearn.com spokesman Doug Jones. "It turns out that choosing an online learning program is an incredibly easy way for students to make an environmental impact."
