I took some classes via Distance Education (video/DVD/internet) and I could have taken many more! I LOVED it. I found that with regular communication through email and sometimes phone calls, my professors got to know me almost as well as professors in a traditional classroom setting.
Coursework was slightly more difficult to complete because it did require a lot of solo work and there was no "real-time" outlet for discussion, although message boards did help tremendously.
I found all involved to be highly motivated, intelligent, respectful individuals. The online experience prepared me for the highly independent work that I do today, and was beneficial in proving to my employer during the interview that I am a capable self-starter. Overall, I am very pleased with the e-experience!
