I'm not convinced. The response I've seen from traditional students has been overwhelming negative. Added to that is the negative legacy of online education (which is of course a whole story itself) Education is just one part of attending a college. Credentialling is another really big one, and beyond that theres a ton of various social components that add to the value of attending a school. With online schools, you either lose out or get a degraded version of those. I've seen a lot of arguments from people in non-software fields doubt online degrees, including engineers say they'd be wary of an online degree regardless of its accreditation and physics graduates raise question about not having access to extremely expensive equipment for labs. And yes, a legitimate online degree wont indicate its online (although it can be deduced in some circumstances), so ideally the credentialling remains valid at least.
