I have taken online courses where these weren't clear and those courses were not fun. When someone is not there to answer all your questions the student needs to have the expectations layed out with a good amount of detail.

Most students that take an online course will have no problem nagivating through it but there will be times when it is a students first time with online learning or have to take the course online out of necessity and if the technology aspect of the learning is difficult the learning outcomes probably won't be very good.

Fair Use is a term that needs to be used more with students. They need to hear multiple times what they can and can't use on technology projects and how to cite them if they do. Not enough awareness of this.

Students need a new way to work within groups or pairs in todays age without being face to face. This is an important part of students technological advancement.
