With rapid development in e-learning in Malaysia Higher learning institutions, UiTM also plays a proactive role in knowledge dissemination and acculturation by embarking on online training. With the increasing use of Internet and computer at the workplace, e-training should be recognized as a way to meet the current challenges and workplace demands to propagate life long learning and learning organization. This paper studies the self-directed learning experience on an on-line English Language training program known as Online English Language Training (OLELT). The training program was first implemented on UiTM Kelantan lecturers to help them improve their English Language proficiency. Using a case study, data were collected and analyzed qualitatively using in-depth interviews and observations on ten lecturers from various disciplines. The emerging themes show that online training is efficient, cost effective and motivating if it is properly planned and designed. It also promotes self-paced and continuous learning experience. However, there are barriers and constraints faced by the participants that need to be addressed.

Pender's Health Promotion Model

In India, around 60% of the population is working in the agricultural field. Farmers in the field may have exposure to different issues like sunburn, injury, snake bite, etc. Injuries lead to tetanus which transmits from soil to the wounded part of the body. As farmers are more subjected to direct contact with soil, transmission rates are often high. The main objective of this study is, assess the knowledge of farmers about tetanus, its prevention and to evaluate the effectiveness of the planned teaching program. A conceptual framework based on Pender's health promotion model involves the analysis by a structured questionnaire to assess knowledge and effectiveness of planned teaching programme. Material and methods: A quasi-experimental study with 50 farmers was selected from Sikkeri village, Bagalkot with a simple random sampling technique. One group’s pre-test & post-test designs were used in this study. Data collected by structured questionnaires are mainly assessed by knowledge, prevention and effectiveness of planned teaching programme. Results: The findings indicate that out of 50 members, 29 (48%) members have satisfactory knowledge and 1 (2%) member have adequate knowledge. However, after the planned teaching programme 45 (90%) members have adequate knowledge and 5 (10%) members have satisfactory knowledge. Conclusion: Early detection and preventive measures among occupational diseases are important. Effective education like a planned teaching programme on tetanus and its prevention among farmers is a scientific, logical, and cost-effective strategy. Keywords: effectiveness, planned teaching programme, knowledge, tetanus, prevention, and farmers.
