Sustainability in Education: Comparing the Ecological Footprint of Traditional and Online Learning Models

Abstract: Online education has changed education, raising worries about its impact on corporate sustainability and environmental consciousness. This study examines how online vs. traditional learning techniques affect students' and professionals' sustainability knowledge. Demographic factors like gender, age, degree, and academic discipline affect education sustainability perceptions, according to this study. The study uses ANOVA, and correlation analyses to compare sustainability awareness among groups. The findings show how education systems might better integrate sustainability principles to promote environmentally responsible business activities. The study adds to education-driven sustainability change and recommends legislation, curriculum, and business training to meet global sustainability targets.
