Never attended an online course myself although I have considered it. If convenience is a primary concern, you might also look for a traditional program for working adults, which usually meet on weekends for about 4 hours. It's not as bad as it sounds. This is the option I went with and I'm nearing the end of my MBA. The bottom line here is that you shouldn't expect more than you put into your course. Nobody ever says, "If you give me $1, I'll give you $20 in return!" Motivate yourself. Get involved. Be resourceful.
Some people are motivated and some are not. Remember: professors are people too.
Hey, how about wearing sunglasses while you work at your PC? Not only will you protect your eyes from glare and strain, you will look and feel way cooler than your peers.
