  • Abstract
    E-Learning has been increasingly used as a medium for promoting health awareness with successful outcomes. This paper reports on the design and evaluation of prototype that uses the potential of E-Learning to help children with diabetes. The pedagogical principle of the proposed prototype is raising the diabetes awareness among young children.The prototype evaluation results indicated that computer-based learning can generate positive learning and motivational attitudes in children. Children who were educated through the prototype were able to complete awareness tasks faster than those who were educated using traditional methods. The prototype has been found makes learning more fun, and allows children to learn at their own pace.
