 This paper discusses the challenges faced by out-of-class students when working independently on tasks using cloud technology. Students reported that they need detailed instructions, as well as careful planning of how much time it will take them to complete the task. Additionally, they suggested that these tasks should be automated and monitored through a pedagogical diagnostic system. This article was authored by Oleksandr H. Calvitin, Larissa S.
