The performance of WUC 114/05 University Mathematics A, a compulsory course for all the students of the School of Science and Technology in Wawasan Open University is average, around 50 % for the past 4 presentations. The course material is on par with the content of Mathematics courses in face to face teaching in local universities in Malaysia. The course material is written similar to a text book approach. The question rose that lead to this research paper is does the approach or pedagogy of mathematics courses in online- learning should be different from face to face learning. This paper explores the degree of difference in the approach of course material in an online-learning environment. A thorough study investigating the approach of teaching mathematics in online-learning and face to face teaching mode from various angles, including the introduction and the development of the skills to the ways of explaining examples and providing relevant examples to make them meaningful. This paper also discovers the online-learning material design should move pedagogically to cater online-learning students.
