Regular and Substantive Interaction. Distance Learning professors must maintain regular and substantive interaction between professors and students and among students. Regular and substantive interaction means engaging students in teaching, learning, assessment consistent with the content under discussion in addition to at least two of the following: direct instruction as defined in 13.A.1.d, professor feedback on student coursework, information or response to questions about the content of a course or competency, facilitating a group discussion, or other activities approved by the Distance Learning Committee. Each professor teaching a Distance Learning course (100% online or hybrid) is required to have the same amount of regular and substantive instructional hours as in non-distance learning classes. Regular and substantive interaction equivalent to a traditional class applies to any portion of a course delivered through distance learning and shall be evaluated as part of the regular evaluation cycle in accordance with Article 13.C and Article 18.
