There is, however, something to be said about constraints to help foster creativity. When everything is possible, it can be hard to come up with good ideas.
While browsing social media, I stumbled across the work of Stefan Kuhnigkt, He is a German copywriter and illustrator. He draws adorable monsters out of coffee stains and posts them on his Instagram account. He recently even published a book of these monsters. He is constrained by the stains,but in turn, they foster his creativity.
There is definitely a balance between being too restrictive and too open when designing for online interactions. When designing instruction that requires online interactions, the constraints vs. openness continuum seems important to consider.
