ABSTRACT With the risen quest for the acquisition of knowledge, the edge cutting technological advancement of this era has a magnified role to play. The availability of the internet all over the world though a negligible not connected yet, online lecturing and educating systems have gotten a boost. Irrespective of the distance or the location of the learner and source of information, learning is made not just easier but also convenient and interactive via electronic sharing of information and virtual classroom.

This method of learning will not enhance face-to-face instruction on campus but the use of computer in classrooms and elicitation of information with the World Wide Web (WWW), enhanced distance education  (on or off campus) and Individual and group lear...

PLANTING ECONOMIC TREES FOR CARBON POSITIVE AND CLIMATE CHANGE RESILIENCE

Climate shocks are more on the way. We have already spewed so much carbon into the atmosphere arising from the way we use energy (oil exploration, gas flaring and fuel combustion from transportation, industrial and mechanical equipments), that a cascade of worsening crop failure, drought, flood and so on is virtually guaranteed. We all feel the effect, hence this call for resilience building in our societies. Building resilience means helping society to work more like the ecosystem. Climate resilience  can be generally defined in two ways. As the capacity for a socio-ecological system   to absorb stresses and maintain function in the face of external stresses imposed upon it by climate change and to adapt, reorganize, and evolve into more desirable configurations that improve the sustainability of the system, leaving it better prepared for future climate change impacts. With the rising awareness of climate change impacts by both national an...
