As AI-generated responses become increasingly more robust, many traditional discussion prompts no longer elicit authentic student thinking. This session explores how video-based discussions can foster Regular and Substantive Interaction (RSI) and increase engagement while reducing cognitive offloading in online learning. Participants will learn to design AI-resistant, student-centered prompts that promote connection, motivation, and genuine engagement. Through a live demonstration and a redesign activity, attendees will see how asynchronous video and structured peer interaction create meaningful learning opportunities for faculty and students. The presenters will share how these tools enhance participation and belonging in the online classroom and in professional development.
