Abstract: This paper will offer an Online Supplemental Instruction (OSI) Implementation framework that higher education institutions can use to implement their own OSI program. The paper will review traditional SI program structures, the theoretical underpinnings supporting SI programs, and the foundations of Online Supplemental Instruction (OSI). The theoretical frameworks reviewed include constructivism, active learning theory and Tinto’s theory of student persistence. In addition, a review of the OSI Implementation Framework is introduced. The OSI implementation framework is explained and how it can be used by higher education institutions to develop their own OSI program. Constructivist learning environments and TPACK influences that inform the OSI Implementation framework are discussed. Finally, recommendations and conclusions about the OSI Implementation Model will be discussed. This includes student training to support their needs in using online environments and in developing a “train the trainer” program and ongoing support for the student leaders(SILs) that will be leading SI/OSI sessions.
