Depends entirely on the school IMHO. I have heard mixed reviews of the "online colleges" that exist only in cyberspace, and they still have a stigma whether deserved or not.

I've taken an online course through Harvard and thought it was great... the course was being taught "in person" during the semester and someone would video the lecture and post it on the course website, so I could watch it whenever it was convenient for me. It was incredibly helpful to me to be able to rewind the lecture or listen to it a second time over my car stereo while I drove to work.

I had to show up in person to take the midterm and final because I was local, but students outside of the new england area were able to take their exams at home.
