Back when I first returned to community college, I picked up where I left off originally so I had to take this second semester of European history to fulfill some elective history credit for my AS degree, and so I took it online. The guy didn't even have any assignments up for the first two weeks of class, until we were basically sending him emails saying we were going to report him to the administration if he didn't start putting up reading assignments, homework, something. He finally starts uploading these little mini lectures which were pointless.
Pretty sure he just gave everyone a B by the end of the semester regardless how much work they did or how well they did on their final papers (my final paper for that class is easily the worst paper I've ever turned in in my entire college/university career).
My wife also had an online class that was so bad they actually did report the woman to administration and she got fired and replaced during the semester. That was a real train wreck. I haven't taken any online classes since then.
IMO online should be supplemental to actual classtime, like upload recorded lectures from in class so people that miss can watch them, or you can review stuff at your convenience without having to take notes, etc. but 100% pure online classes are garbage and should go the way of the dodo.
