[LINK] First globally accredited Green ICT course

[Tom Worthington]

I will be talking about "Educating ICT Professionals on Green ICT" at 
the ANU in Canberra, 11 December 2008 
<http://cecs.anu.edu.au/seminars/showone.pl?SID=764>. This will 
partly be a repeat of my presentation for the Symposium on 
Sustainable ICT at University of Melbourne last week: 
<http://www.tomw.net.au/technology/it/ict_sustainability_education/>. 
But I will be giving more detail on the new ACS course, which I have 
also proposed for ANU (other universities are invited to join the 
open access project): <http://tomw.net.au/moodle/course/view.php?id=11>.

Enrollments are now open for the new elective subject "Green ICT" 
within the Australian Computer Society 's Computer Professional 
Education Program (CPeP). This online e-learning course looks at how 
computer and telecommunications professionals can deal with 
sustainability, energy saving and greenhouse gas emissions in 
planning hardware and software projects: 
<http://www.acs.org.au/cpeprogram/index.cfm?action=show&conID=greenict>.

Enrollments close 11 January 2009 for Study Period 1, which commences 
18 January and runs to 19 April 2009. The ACS CPeP program is the 
first in the world to be globally accredited by the International 
Federation for Information Processing (IFIP), a non-governmental, 
non-profit umbrella organisation created under the auspices of UNESCO 
for national societies working in the field of information 
processing: <http://www.itweb.co.za/office/cssa/0809120811.htm>.

Enrollments can be in the Green ICT subject alone, or as part of the 
full CPe Program. Credit towards Graduate Diploma and Master courses 
are offered by articulation with: Chifley Business School, Australian 
Catholic University, Central Queensland University, Curtin University 
of Technology and Swinburne University of Technology:
