Regular and Substantive Interaction in Online Classes Facilitators: Douglas Habib, Brian Smentkowski One of the hottest topics in higher education is the expectation of Regular and Substantive Interaction (RSI) in distance education. This includes online courses and programs. In addition to the positive effects of RSI on student success, the University of Idaho --like all other colleges and universities-- has to demonstrate a commitment to Regular and Substantive Interaction in all online courses and programs. Our goal was to provide an overview of what Regular and Substantive Interaction means, why it matters, and to share strategies for adding “regular” and “substantive” interactions into your online courses and programs.
