I'm currently doing a CS degree entirely over the web at my local university. I already completed 4 classes and I have an easier to time to focus and learn than when I was in class with other students, in which case I was constantly distracted by social interaction. >>The research has shown over and over again that community college students who enroll in online courses are significantly more likely to fail or withdraw than those in traditional classes, which means that they spend hard-earned tuition dollars and get nothing in return. I'd be interested in seeing the full statistics here. In my case, the course material is the same online than for the in-class students, and the exams are the same, given at the same date, same place. I've seen the exam's average result for both online and in-class groups on my math course last session, and the average was higher on the online group. Maybe it depends on the type of online course. I'm doing synchronous courses, but can watch the replays at any time. We have a web site dedicated for each course, with forums and can always easily talk with the teachers and get quick answers for anything. I believe asynchronous courses would be much harder to follow.
