Knowledge of green computing among university students and lecturers in a Malaysian public university

This study examined the levels of green computing knowledge between students and lecturers, and between ICT and non-ICT respondents in a public university in Malaysia. Two types of green computing knowledge were assessed, perceived knowledge and objective knowledge. Perceived knowledge was assessed...
