Regular and Substantive Interaction: Does Standard 5.2 Need an Update?

Description

What is regular and substantive interaction, anyhow? The Department of Education doesn’t provide a clear answer, but it is an important compliance question. Specific Review Standard 5.2 discusses *opportunities* for learner-instructor interaction, but Indiana University wanted more. Recognizing that compliance is part of quality assurance, our academic leadership asked us to create a QM-style “interaction standard.”

In this presentation, we cover the following:

  1. What is interaction?

  2. Why we made an internal standard

  3. Does 5.2 need an update?

  4. Group critique of our standard

  5. What is the best path for your institution?
