This open access online resource was launched in January 2011 as a single website.
Today, this One-stop Shop comprises six satellite websites (News and Information, Research, Good Practice, Quotes, Blog and Micro-blog) positioned around a central platform (this website). It has entirely been developed using free web resources (free website builders and social networking).
Considering a Sustainable University as composed of three elements, namely campus, knowledge and community, this resource has adopted an innovative integrated approach comprising education, communication, research, networking and motivation.
This One-stop Shop has achieved recognition at global, national and local levels (see box on the right).
Currently, I seek sustainability-related opportunities (full or part-time) in Higher Education/ Education, Business, Media or Charity sector. Please feel free to contact me on asitha_jayawardena@yahoo.com
