Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between education for sustainability and sustainability of education. The methodology of the paper is a long-term case study of the development of an "educational exchange" system amongst the member universities of an international association. The result of the analysis indicates the importance of understanding the knowledge development processes of the use of educational technologies, applications and frameworks, and the evolution of the sustainable development of education technologies. Besides, the case study shows the opportunities and challenges of a community-based development approach. The paper answers a call for more empirical research on the relationship between education for sustainability and sustainability of education. Improving the understanding of this relation improves the possibilities for sustainable education technology development.
