Online Learning: Two-Thirds of Colleges Leveraging Green Technology - Stefania Viscusi, Green Technology
As the push to improve our environment increases, individuals, businesses and even universities are becoming more environmentally conscious. Based on the findings of a recent study by the member schools of the Association for Information Communications Technology Professionals in Higher Education (ACUTA), two-thirds of colleges and universities are leveraging green technologies to save energy and aid the environment. According to the surveys findings, universities are taking these steps by launching initiatives like distance learning and online education programs to reduce the need for students and faculty to commute and to reduce the amount of energy used to run their schools.
