If you just want to learn something for your own info, they are fine.

If you want to use one to advance your career, they are not a good option IMO. I'm not saying the level of instruction is necessarily bad, but they get no respect from employers. Keep in mind, "online college" ranges all the way from a non-accredited degree factory, to what Grant is discussing. In the current environment, employers are flooded with applicants and won't take the time to verify the quality of an online college.
