Apart from ethics classes, i think there is value in associating with other students and educators who uphold certain academic and professional ethics. It formulates a certain common mindset among students who may come from very disparate backgrounds (I'm not talking about the Ivies - those students usually come from similar backgrounds). You may also learn a lot from anecdotes that are not found in books or online lectures (e.g. in Medical school). I don't know how this is replicated in online schools, but i think it's an important part of education.
