FDIC Instructional Designer Kim Ervin discusses regular and substantive interaction (RSI) and why these are foundational for online courses, and why, at its core, RSI is really about creating meaningful online learning experiences for our students that are just as rich and rewarding as any face-to-face class. RSI is really about good instruction.
