Instructors have the academic freedom to determine the most effective strategies for implementing RSI in their courses. While specific methods may vary based on course content, level, and discipline, all approaches must align with the stated regulations.
Online education programs and courses must comply with federal Department of Education guidelines, meet Title IV funding requirements, and adhere to both regional and programmatic accreditation standards. Additionally, institutions in Florida must follow the state’s specific regulations for online learning.
Components of RSI
In order to qualify as RSI, faculty-student interactions must be both regular and substantive. Interactions must be conducted by individuals who meet the accreditor's criteria for faculty.
