Abstract

This research aimed to enhance the skills of utilizing and applying green technology among a sample of students from Al-Azhar University's Faculty of Education in Cairo, as well as to explore their attitudes toward it. This was achieved by assessing the effectiveness of cloud computing-based virtual Learning Management Systems (LMS). Measurement tools, including achievement tests, a Likert-scale questionnaire, and an attitude scale, were designed. Educational content for green information technology was developed and uploaded onto two Learning Management Systems: Moodle and Green Class, the latter being a system created by the researcher. A sample of 60 students was selected and divided into two groups, employing a quasi-experimental design. Following the experimental treatment and subsequent statistical analysis and result interpretation, the findings confirmed the effectiveness of the Green Class Learning Management System compared to the Moodle system in terms of achievement, practical performance, and attitudes. A key recommendation from the study emphasizes the need to activate green information technology in all educational institutions, providing a secure learning environment that aims to optimize resource utilization for sustainable development and environmental balance. Additionally, the study recommends the utilization and activation of green cloud computing applications within educational institutions to create a safe learning environment that targets the correct implementation of technology in the exchange and use of data and information.
