Abstract

This chapter investigates sustainable technology’s influence on students’ learning experiences. It outlines techniques and ideas for encouraging sustainable conduct in academic environments. This chapter is dedicated to exploring the role of universities in fostering sustainable technologies. Universities nowadays have a responsibility to maintain the highest standards in their operations and to take the lead in shaping the students’ daily lives, who will make up the new generation of citizens. Projected change in students’ behavior is due to the sustainability-focused education they received throughout their academic journey. Cutting-edge technology enhances the teaching–learning process. Innovations in technology have always led to significant contributions. Technology provides an infinite number of instructional resources available to support teaching. Virtual reality offers a model for adaptive learning systems to enhance students’ learning experience. Socially responsible universities adopting sustainable practices and investing in green technologies benefit from an improved reputation, cost savings, and new growth opportunities. With a focus on the Green University, transformation has become one of the requirements that most economies worldwide are moving toward today due to the growing importance of the green economy. The Green University is an essential component of creating sustainable societies and economies that will be passed down to future generations due to its positive effects on various economic, social, and environmental issues in light of the current challenges to global sustainable development. With the global economy’s different advancements and challenges, sustainable development seeks to build sustainable economies.
