[best] Idiot-Proof E-learning - Need Your Help

Looking back at all the blog posts I skimmed last year, one of the best reads that still lingers in my head is the 'Letter from an agonized learner: I'm not an idiot! from Geeta Boos. It starts with:

I’m an adult, literate, and a professional. I manage my finances, my investments, wealth and health with equal ease. I manage my family, team, career, and social needs effortlessly. I see no reason why I cannot manage my learning and training sessions. But my training managers tend to think otherwise.

Cathy Moore's post 'Are learners idiots' reminded me. She urges us in the learning trade to assume intelligence in "our audience" and fight any assumptions our stakeholders might hold it is otherwise.

So here is the idea: why don't we help the world become a slightly better place by making an idiot-proof checklist for e-learning? If that's not a good start for 2012, I don't know what is. (Actually I do, but those things are out of my control, but now I'm just rambling...)
I want to compile a checklist to score a course on its idiocy level, and just for the fun of it maybe add an 'idiot-proof' label...  So, I need your help here. What would you put in the 'Idiot-Proof' checklist?
Once we get the idiot stuff out of the way, we might actually challenge instead of question our learners' intelligence.

Here are some examples to get us started:

1. They explain the back button is to go to the previous page and the next button is to go to the ... well ... next one.
2. They ask questions that are about what I read literally on the previous page.
3. A voice speaks out the exact text as it is on the screen, and I didn't ask for it.
4. They disable the next page until I completed the page or spend long enough time on the page.
5. They tell me up front what I'm going to read or do in the next screens.
6. ...  your turn!
