The thrust of this study is to examine the effects of e-learning on the transformative education of Cooperative Members. The descriptive survey design was adopted for the study. Multistage random sampling technique was used to select 300 respondents consisting of 75 Cooperative Leaders and 225 members. A well-structured questionnaire was validated and used to collect relevant data which was analysed using descriptive statistics (the mean and standard deviation). Findings indicate that very few e-learning facilities are available in cooperatives even at secondary and apex levels in the area studied; hence the adoption of e-learning is poor. However, the study revealed that the few e-learning facilities adopted have good effect on the transformative education of the cooperative members. The study also found out that the adoption of e-learning has lots of challenges, including high cost of imported equipment and e-learning facilities; insufficient E-learning infrastructure, inadequate time to develop and implement ICT-using activities, lack of digital learning resources, among others. The study, therefore recommends that specialty training should be given to cooperative leaders to make them keep abreast of the trends in e-learning and they should source for more funds for the improvement of e-learning infrastructure.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) alludes to a scope of conditions portrayed by some level of debilitated social conduct, communication and language and a tight scope of interests and exercises that are both special to the individual and completed repetitively. ASDs starts in youth and will, in general, persevere into pre-adulthood and adulthood. As a rule, the conditions are apparent during the initial five years of life. People with ASD regularly present other co-happening conditions including epilepsy, depression, anxiety and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The study aims to assess the knowledge of environmental risk factors that influence the risk of autism among antenatal mothers. A descriptive survey design was adopted with 100 samples using a convenient sampling technique. The significant findings of samples are 26% had inadequate knowledge, 64% had moderate knowledge, and 10% had adequate knowledge. The demographic variable of maternal age, education and place of residents are statistically significantly associated with the level of knowledge at p<0.001 level. The study findings revealed that antenatal mothers had moderately adequate knowledge regarding awareness on environmental risk factors that are influencing the risk of autism. So the antenatal mothers should be aware of environmental risk factors of autism. Early identification and treatment of these risk factors during gestation may play a role in reducing ASD risk factors.
