If you teach online, this episode is for you. You may have heard of RSI or Regular and Substantive Interaction and in today's episode, Mt. SAC Podcast cohost Ivan Sanchez will be talking with the two faculty who are serving as Mt. SAC's RSI coordinators, Sheila Wright from English Literature and Creative Writing and Jenny Gernhardt from Biology. They will discuss what regular and substantive interaction in the online learning environment is and how it connects to Mt. SAC's ACC JC accreditation and most importantly, why it matters to you.

Mt. SAC faculty are committed to delivering quality instruction in all modalities, so listen in and learn more about the opportunities to connect with your students through RSI. Faculty teaching in the spring of 2025 will learn how and why to take advantage of the opportunity right now and through winter to work with an RSI mentor in a supportive process to enrich your online class with interaction enhancing online teaching and learning.
