RSI 1: Regular and Substantive Interaction: Communication Strategies and Tools for the Online Classroom (Spring 2025)

In our face to face classes we have relatively simple ways to regularly communicate with our students – we can greet them by name as they enter class, we can talk with them after class, we can make classroom announcements. All of this is possible in the online classroom as well, but to do this effectively requires thoughtful planning.

In this webinar you will explore the concept of instructor presence, its importance for student learning, and its relationship to U.S. Department of Education regulations on “regular and substantive interaction.” More specifically, you will learn about strategies and tools to help you communicate effectively with your online learners.
