Default Online classes

So basically I went to a normal college for a two years then kinda dropped out the next year to play online poker. I was undecided the two years there and didn't really get many credits towards any particular major. After slacking off for the last year I realized I needed to get a degree because poker probably isn't a long term thing (for me anyway).

While thinking about enrolling in classes for the upcoming year, a friend told me about online classes and it seemed intriguing as I would be able to get a degree in a shorter amount of time and not have to go to class. I haven't been able to find much information about it however, so I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with online degrees. My main questions are concerning how it would affect getting a job once graduating (ie will future employers look down on an online degree as opposed to a normal one). Also, if anyone has personally taken online classes, how difficult did you find them and how much work is involved? Also, how does it work, do you get just assignments to complete every day or do you communicate with teachers in a chat room? What are the pros and cons of online vs normal? Any information is much appreciated, thanks.
