Research confirms that interaction among students and between students and instructors fosters learning and increases student satisfaction. Interaction is a hallmark of effective teaching, regardless of whether the teaching occurs in a physical or digital environment.

However, because of the challenges posed by distance, instructors have to be especially intentional about creating regular opportunities for interaction when designing online courses. Interaction is so important to online learner success that the U.S. Department of Education requires that all distance education (i.e., online courses) for which students may use financial aid include “regular and substantive interaction” (RSI). (34 CFR § 600.2)
