Regular substantive interaction (RSI) is an important, yet often misunderstood, component of online learning. This webinar will review RSI definitions and regulations and share strategies that ensure courses meet these regulations. In July 2021, the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) adopted RSI to ensure that online courses remain eligible for federal finance aid and differ significantly from correspondence courses. Online courses must now have predictable and scheduled interaction that meet specific criteria. Presenter DeAnna Gossett will review strategies that will not only help participants comply with RSI, but also build a more interactive learning experience for students!
