Multiple Opportunities for a student to understand questions in an online forum

One of the things I like about online instruction is giving the student multiple opportunities to understand my questions.  Many times I find my students will have great answers to questions I have not asked.  I like being able to explain to the student exactily what the question requires.  I face this issue in my management of employees and I think it's an important job skill that online learning teaches more efficiently than classroon instruction.  The student is not embarrassed when I redirect a question to them.

It is also important for students to ask for clarity when a question is not clear to them.  It is important to set that level of openness for comfort to ask the instructor. Sometimes students will not ask for fear of bothering the instructor, however, the students' understanding is crucial for their succsss.
