I took an on-line US history class and I will never do it again. We were forced to discuss the material on a message board like this, well it was horrible. Many people would include whole responses of other students in with theirs, so I was almost impossible to detect where the new thought was and how it related or even if it did relate to the new thought. I complained to the instructor and he said, "no one else has complained or thought the interaction format needs to be changed or improved". Then after the class is over, I was told that more than half the class cheated, on assignments and tests.
My main problem is with non-technical instruction, though I am not sure how one can get a BS in Chemistry or Biology online. I learn from my fellow classmates and from the instructor. I can't do that in an isolated environment.
