Really it's a case of just trying it. Think whether you need this approach to motivate your students. It's about what learning outcomes you plan for your modules. If you need lots of rapid feedback to help students coming in then use it. I think students take to it far more naturally than staff do.
Most students coming in are more computer literate than they used to be.
They just follow instructions. You can prepare a test which asks trivial questions which students new to it can try out. Show all the types of questions you could be asking and give them feedback instantly. A small minority of students are not computer literate in Stage land do need support. Technical staff should be available to identify those students and to help them get started.
