How to meet RSI requirements while improving online engagement in higher education

Free downloadable guide for higher education leaders navigating federal compliance and student success

RSI compliance is no longer optional: it’s a condition of funding and accreditation.

This white paper breaks it down: the risks, the requirements, and the real opportunity to build more engaging, effective online courses.
