What's with studying online?!

I get like a lot of emails lately regarding studying online and getting a degree without leaving your home..For me it sounds good but is it really that rewarding? How can you learn other things such as dealing with people, working in groups, speaking in front of the class if you will just face the monitor every day for education?

well..I do agree that they have a nice program and everything ( haven't really look into the programs deeply) but nothing beats traditional schooling..I do hope that people are not JUST AFTER that DIPLOMA and RECOGNITION of finshing a course or two..its the VALUE that you get out of that education and how you will make use of your life to ADD VALUE to the life of others..^_^
