I think they lost the information gained by analyzing information together with other students. Plus, many of the classes did not have online lectures - just reading assignments with homework or papers due. Their degrees look exactly the same as mine - there is no distiction that theirs was done online.
I feel the same way. I see a lot of people saying that they have a Master's from Harvard, and only mentioning "extension school" on the pain of death or imprisonment.
