As eLearning is becoming more readily available and accessible in formal and informal contexts, more education institutions, including schools, are developing courses virtually. Educators are gradually incorporating elements of eLearning in the discussions on integrating pedagogy and instructional design. Such integration is increasingly important in mathematics as the subject involves thinking and creativity; readiness to face ambiguous problems and ability to refine them into a clearer conceptualization and ability to analyze problems using the heuristic approach. Realizing the importance of the integration, a study is being undertaken to develop a suitable instructional design model using the eLearning approach. The use of such approach would enhance literacy and motivate interest towards mathematics. The instructional design model incorporates the elements of Mathematical Approaches, Lesson Sequencing, Interactive Multimedia, Systematically Designed and Developed Teaching and Learning Modules and Submodules, and Holistic Development of Students.
