ICT Sustainability Book Published

"ICT Sustainability" is now available free on the web, as well as a print on demand paperback and a PDF eBook. This is a new edition of the notes for the postgraduate courses: COMP7310 (Australian National University), Green Technology Strategies (Australian Computer Society) and ACS25 (Open Universities Australia).

Changes from Previous Version

  1. Skills descriptions: Two SFIA sustainability skills have (SUST: Sustainability strategy and SUAS: Sustainability assessment) replaced the six ICT skills specified previously.

  2. Structure: The course has been divided into two sections, each covering one of the two skills.

  3. Assignment Titles: The descriptions of the two assignments have been changed to match the two skills.

  4. Reference Changes: The number of links to external sources and also internal links (particularly to the Glossary) has been reduced, to avoid confusing the reader. The list of sources cited has been consolidated into one section at the back and Harvard style references used.

  5. Title: ICT Sustainability has replaced Green ICT in the title, to match the skills descriptions used.

  2. Add cover of book to front page.

    Add the full chapter title with the title tag in the side menu.

    Otherwise looks good in IE on Microsoft windows.
