Yea, online classes are just as good as the physical ones. The problem is their degrees are worthless, which makes the online courses worthless as well. If you want to learn you can do it for free, you have the internet. But enrolling in a degree is to get a useful degree, which no online program offers.

They will be these future. Harvard is spending big bucks to develop platforms and partnerships and is at the leading edge of the industry. It's pretty apparent it will skew the education model though. Already 10k foreigners take and pass a wide array of Harvard courses online. Same material same lectures etc. but they don't get real degrees. I actually think online classes expose how useless most of what you learn in school or class really is.

Is a degree earned online branded in some way as such? Instead of Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, its Online Bachelor of Science in Chemistry?

You have to be careful with which online institution you're using. A lot aren't even accredited according to online standardizations. I've considered it...

On top of this, I think an online course actually compels you to focus more than an in person class. You have to at least focus on the screen. Problems arise when you begin to multitask on the next tab....
