6. REC vs RSI
There is an ongoing conversation regarding Regular Effective Contact (REC) and Regular Substantial Interaction (RSI)
State’s education code uses the phrase “regular effective contact.” 
Federal Department of Education (DoE) and our accreditation agency uses the phrase “regular and substantive interaction”
“Regular” means at frequent points throughout the course.  They were looking for weekly exchanges between faculty and students.
“Substantive” means academic in nature, something that helps the student learn.  Instructor feedback on student performance is substantive. 
“Interaction” means two-way communication.  interaction that is initiated by the instructor.  Not just responses to student inquiries.

7. RSI – Regular & Substantive Interaction
Department of Education (DoE) review criteria:
Does the syllabus establish expectations for RSI (for both students and instructors)
Does the instructor provide adequate RSI in the discussion forums.
Does the instructor provide adequate substantive feedback on assignments and tests.
DoE auditors feedback:
Instructor feedback like "Good Job" or "Remember the essay is due this Friday" do not count as RSI.
To be substantive, instructor comments must be academic in nature and lead to student learning...not just offer congratulations or be about class maintenance.
