Building Regular and Substantive Interaction into Your Online Courses

Explore ways to increase interactivity and engagement within your online courses, while also 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 ineligible to be paid for by federal financial funding (i.e., the University must return all financial aid tuition used for the course). Come and learn what constitutes RSI and how you can build RSI into your courses. (Hint: You are likely already doing some of this.) Registration is required.
