There are bunch of benefit we can get from online learning, the most obvious advantage is "convenience" because both students and teachers can work in their own times.
As my understanding, the first reason is served for students who live too far from the school or they can not go away from their places. In this way they can learn in online setting which is work just fine for them. students can still have real conversation and face to face options with teachers and classmate through web cam. Most of online class allow students review the materials they have learned so that they can follow up the contents and be in the same front row as students from regular classroom style. Online students can also post their questions and comments through the discussion board and read others' there.
There are so many online classes offered in almost university now. Students can have more option to earn the degree through it, however it is still a question that online degree can be viewed as equal to degree from traditional schools. It all depends on what kind of online school we go to. An online program that is run through a traditional, regionally accredited school is the best. If you choose a school that is only online, make sure that it is accredited by the proper regional association.
So as an Instructional designer, we should pay more attention to design particular online course in order to keep it as effective as the regular one.

I still think online courses can be manipulated. What would happen if someone paid someone else to take a course from an accredited college - wouldn't that be possible ? How does the university know, without taking comps, that a student is actually the one taking a course? I feel it could be possible.

I completely agree that online classes while completely convenient for the student but can easily be manipulated. I like the freedom that the internet has given us in education.
In looking for a master's program, I didn't want to "buy" my degree. I wanted to earn it! I checked with my principal and other trusted resources to find out what universities and programs were well regarded in my district. Before picking a school, ask those in the field you want to pursue, what school gives you the best education and prepares you for what lies ahead.
