Sharon -  You are so right about teachers needing to provide clear, concise instructions. This has been eye opening for me as I have developed courses in my LMS. I will type up instructions that I think are clear, but it doesn't take much time before my students are asking questions about what they need to do. I would never have guessed how detailed I need to be when giving instructions through a LMS. I now spend much more time on instructions and add to them as students ask questions about parts I missed. I have also taken online courses where we (students) participated in scheduled web conferences (or watched video recordings) where the instructor explained what we needed to do. I like this option because questions can be answered immediately. It's also nice to see the instructor -- I think it helps build the teacher-student relationship.
