Introduction: The level of knowledge about stunting among health workers remains varied. Nowadays, self-directed or asynchronous online learning has become a prominent approach in the learning process. Objective: This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of self-directed online learning in improving health workers’ knowledge about stunting. Method: A total of 41 participants from 5 provinces (South Sumatera, West Java, East Nusa Tenggara, Maluku, and South Sulawesi) were purposively selected to enrol in a stunting course at the Learning Center, PDRC, Faculty of Public Health, Universitas Indonesia. The learning materials comprised 15 topics in the form of animated videos and one digital pocketbook. A paired t-test was used to evaluate changes before and after completing the course. Result: The analysis showed a significant improvement in knowledge score (p-value < 0.05), with an average increase of 21 points. However, an individual topic analysis indicated the need for further discussion to enhance participants' understanding. Conclusion: Self-directed online learning effectively improves health workers’ knowledge about stunting. Nevertheless, further studies should explore the impact of synchronous sessions in enhancing knowledge retention and comprehension.
