Planning for RSI Success
Instructors teaching online courses are required by the federal Department of Education to provide Instructor-initiated Regular and Substantive Interaction (RSI) in online courses. In this workshop, we’ll talk about instructional practices that meet student needs and satisfy regulatory requirements. We’ll also introduce the new RSI review process negotiated by HCEA and the college. This workshop assumes a familiarity (but not expert-level knowledge) with online teaching and the categories of RSI.
