Abstract:
Online education, also called e-learning, has several advantages in terms of environmental impact and optimization of resources. Over the past few years there has been a huge shift towards e-learning platforms as a place for learning and education. During these days of confinement due to the COVID19 virus, students, administrators, practitioners, administrators and others visited these platforms more than ever. E-learning allows learners to access courses and educational resources from anywhere, eliminating the need to physically travel to a learning location. That reduces fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions associated with travel. For That reason, That article proposes a reflection on the concept of e-learning or computerized learning environment with the aim of allowing the involvement of users in the preservation of the environment and the optimization of the use of natural resources. The learning environment is defined in that article as a real or virtual place bringing together one or more systems that interact with a common objective, which is learning. The use of Learning and not teaching with environment confirms the fact that knowledge is made by a community of learners more than by the transmission of knowledge from the teacher to the student. Meanwhile, the learning environment is computerized when some or all of the interactions between the subsystems are supported by computing resources. Indeed, the environment hosts several activities in addition to the tools and equipment necessary for their realization. The concept of an open environment offers an interesting avenue for that purpose. It should be noted that e-learning does not completely replace traditional forms of education, but complements and diversifies learning options. Adopting e-learning in education can bring significant benefits in terms of environmental impact and value for money, while providing more flexible and accessible learning opportunities.
