Abstract
Education of rural women assumes great importance to enable them to get the fullest benefit of globalization and it is the women who nurture the child and takes care of the overall development particularly in formative years. A quasi-experimental pretest and post-test research design was used to assess the effectiveness of the developed e-learning education material on the nutrition, health and hygiene practices of rural women (100 experimental group; 30 control group) in 3 villages of Rangareddy district, Telangana. A standardized questionnaire developed for the study was used to collect information regarding the nutritional practices of the respondents. E-learning education material developed for the study using animation included educational content on nutritional needs of children (0-6years), pregnant and lactating women, the most common nutritional deficiencies and strategies to control and prevent them. The 2 D animated film developed was shown to the experimental group for a period of 6 months. The posttest findings revealed that the experimental group showed higher scores in the post intervention (30.7) than pre intervention scores (24.5) which indicated that there was a positive effect of e-learning education material on rural women not only in terms of improvement in gain in scores but also in the adoption of desirable practices.
