description: Open University Malaysia(OUM),Malaysia's first open and distance learning with  over 70,000 students, offers more than 51 programsto-date. More than 90% of its  students are working adults who are unable to leave their jobs or families behind to  pursue their dream of getting a degree.The blended learning approach adoptedby  OUM provides the flexibility for working adult's to obtain the required paper  qualification and to upgrade their knowledge. One of the important elements of  blended learning is the use of online discussion forum where learning takes place  beyond classroom. Mathematics,a traditionally difficult course,forms part of thepre-requisite for students to obtaina business degree at OUM. The adult learners at  OUM generally have left school for at least five years and most of them have low  grades in Mathematics at O'Level. Thus it is a big challenge for these adult learners  to undertake a Mathematics course via online with minimum Face-to-Face contact  with their tutors. This paper focuses on the implementation of pro-instruction  workshop and supplemental instruction to find its impact on student's online  participation and exam results of 88 students. The contents of the online forum were  also analyzed using a 34-item instrument derived from the Community of Inquiry  model.
