I've been attending traditional classroom courses for the past four years and decided to complete my masters in a mostly on-line environment. I've completed two inline courses so far, and am presently enrolled in my third.
My experience so far has been good, with the exception of one class. For the most part the online courses are well organized, and specific in their requirements. It is nice to follow an organized course of achievement, and I like this aspect of distance learning.
The one course that did not meet my expectations could probably be used in a case study of what not to do in designing an online course. It appears that the instructor attempted to force a fit between a class designed for on campus, and the online format. There were numerous inconsistencies, mass confusion, poorly designed assessments. Worst of all, the instructor became frustrated by all the questions he was receiving and basically held himself incommunicado for the last half of the class.
