ABSTRACT
In the society where environment and education have become two most important paradigms to change “Go Green” has become the major mantra in each and every aspect of society. There is a need of change toward a better economy and this chapter is focused more or less on conducting a review of how Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has led to carbon footprint reduction and what all are the prospects of virtual learning and e-learning environment development. The objective is to identify the relationship between sustainability indicators and the effect of ICT dimensions. In depth study of tripod model is done to effectively measure the relationship between the two parameters. Sustainability indices like index of ecological and reduction of carbon footprint and index of sustainability are used for the study of relationship and supply of ICT-based infrastructure like hardware products, media, audio, video, and other content and other remote sensing technologies whether permits more effective monitoring or helps in mitigation of environmental risks as well as whether it led to better learning and monitoring leading to value education or not. The study is to see the prospects and possibilities of ICT in social development and the components required to leverage ICT for sustainable economic development. Thus, this chapter presents the design and development of virtual learning environment and its impact on sustainability.
