Building Regular and Substantive Interaction into Your Online Courses

Explore strategies to increase interactivity and engagement in your online courses while meeting federal regulations for distance education. Regular and Substantive Interaction (RSI) is a federal requirement for all online courses that distinguishes “distance education” from “correspondence education”—the latter is not eligible for federal financial aid, meaning the University must return all financial aid tuition used for such a course.

Join us to learn what constitutes RSI and how you can build it into your courses. (Hint: You are already doing some of this.) Registration is required.

Intended Audience: Tenure-Track Faculty, Non-Tenure Track Faculty and Course Instructors, Graduate Students, Staff (AP and Civil Service).

Event Information

Synchronous Meeting: Tuesday, November 18, 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Location: Online - Zoom.

Facilitator: Tony Pina, Center for Integrated Professional Development.
