Teaching Sustainable Computing Remotely

Gordon, Neil

Abstract

This paper explores experiences of teaching sustainable computing remotely during the Coronavirus pandemic. The unanticipated rapid pivot to online learning meant that courses with traditional teaching, or blended approaches had to be adapted to be delivered entirely online. This created challenges for teacher and student alike. In the case of sustainable and green computing, this meant there were opportunities to highlight how computer science itself could provide solutions to the words challenges during Coronavirus, and longer-term solutions that also address climate change through Green computing. This work was built on over a decades experience of developing students understanding of IT and its impact.
