Abstract

Nowadays, education strategy aims to introduce some potential approaches into teaching and learning taking into account sustainable development. Renewable energy sources represent the future utilization of energy. The use of this technology do not harm the environment because it is clean and environmentally friendly. Consequently, using E-learning platform in renewable energy education is a novel and a creative method to empower teaching for students and researchers to take action for sustainable development. This paper presents a survey of some existing E-learning platforms in energy education. As a result, it proposes to implement an E-learning platform as a beneficial and advantageous solution for developing countries such Morocco to train the needed competencies.
