In this new educational landscape, ensuring consistent engagement from learners is crucial, particularly for indigenous (Orang Asli) students who lack the necessary equipment. To enhance online education, we must study forms of engagement, especially for indigenous (Orang Asli) students, and identify their preferred mode of engagement. The purpose of this study is to assess the level of participation among indigenous (Orang Asli) students in online learning. To collect quantitative data, a set of 24 questionnaire items adapted from Martin & Bollinger (2018) was administered to indigenous (Orang Asli) students residing in a welfare home in the Klang Valley. Additionally, a semistructured interview was employed to investigate potential factors that could impact the online participation of indigenous students. The study revealed that collaborative efforts with peers in the same group were the most well-received learner-to-learner interactions, whereas a supportive classroom community positively impacted student engagement. The study's results have significant implications for educators, particularly when teaching the Mandarin language to indigenous (Orang Asli) students. Simultaneously, the findings carry substantial consequences for indigenous (Orang Asli) learners who hope to increase their engagement in online education.

The advent of technology provides exposure and encourages everyone to seek information via technology such as multimedia. Therefore, a language instructor would need a full complement of supplemental resources to assist preparation for class, conducting lectures, assessing students' performance and others in order to teach effectively. One of the new developments in language teaching pedagogy is to employ interactive multimedia supplementary instructional tools. The FAST MANDANRIN.2 CD-ROM serves as an interactive multimedia supplementary instructional tool and is self-produced by the researchers. The objective is to supplement conventional teaching and learning method of the Elementary Mandarin-learning program in Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM). Besides, it is offered as a self-paced learning instruction for the students in view of the limitation of contact hours for third language classes in the university. It was clear from the results of the research that interactive multimedia has the capacity to illuminate and enhance the teaching and learning process of Elementary Mandarin.
