After the structured teaching programme, in the posttest 40% of adolescence have very good level of knowledge, 30% having good level of knowledge,24% having average level of knowledge and 6% have poor level knowledge regarding internet based e-learning and tools. The calculated t value (6.53) is higher than tabulated t value (t49=2.02) at 0.05 level of significance. So the hypothesis (H1) was accepted.
