Online programs are taken seriously if they are serious programs. At my university, Illinois Institute of Technology, we have a nearly 20 years history of well-regarded, serious professional science masters degrees which are mostly, or completely, offered online. In our case, there is always a faculty member in charge of the course and since the courses are both live and online (video on demand), the course lectures are fresh every year.

Other programs may not be as serious and you need to look carefully and make a decision based on what you can find out about the programs. after that, user your best judgement.
