Substantive Method 1: Providing Direct Instruction

Description	Design Strategies	Delivery Strategies
Direct instruction is intended to be a synchronous environment where both the instructor and student are present at the same time and are both engaged. In an asynchronous course, direct instruction can also include asynchronous activities, such as instructor participation in discussions, providing feedback, and office hour interactions with students focused on the course content.	The course and/or syllabus include placeholders for information about office/student hours and/or study sessions. Pre-recorded lectures are accompanied by a discussion forum or other interactive activity. NOTE: Pre-recorded lecture content alone is not sufficient for RSI but can contribute to meeting the requirement when combined with other course activities such as a related course discussion or interactive assignment.	Regularly scheduled office/student hours are clearly stated in the syllabus and/or the course. The instructor offers optional live study sessions, such as a review session prior to a major assessment. The instructor initiates 1:1 sessions with students around course topics based on need. The instructor contributes regularly to course discussions or other interactive activities.
