Reflect on RSI in Your Course
Regular and substantive interaction is most useful when you can connect it to what actually happens in your course. The RSI Course Self-Check is a short reflection activity designed to help you consider how regular, instructor-initiated, and content-focused interaction currently shows up in your teaching. This is a reflective planning tool, not a formal course review or compliance determination.
As you work through the self-check, you’ll:
- Recognize RSI practices already built into your course.
- Identify areas you may want to strengthen.
- Consider practical next steps for supporting regular and substantive interaction.
The self-check includes 15 questions and takes approximately 5–10 minutes. Your responses are anonymous and are not stored. This is a reflective planning tool, not a formal course review or compliance determination. The RSI Course Self-Check builds on guidance and practices highlighted in the Preparing to Teach Online Toolkit. For additional context, examples, and practical strategies, explore the toolkit to further support your online course design and teaching practices.
If possible, have your syllabus, course schedule, or Canvas course nearby so you can think about your current practices as you respond.
