Introduction to Regular and Substantive Interaction
This session breaks down Regular and Substantive Interaction (RSI): what it means, why it’s required in distance learning, and how to build it into your course design. You will reflect on your existing practices and explore new strategies that go beyond compliance to create more engaging, equitable, and human online experiences. No prior knowledge of RSI is needed. New and experienced faculty are welcome.
