I completed my masters program online - and am considering doing another. For my program, the classes were synchronous (and recorded, so I could revisit the lectures), we had group projects (meeting in virtual classrooms, when necessary), proctored exams, a bulletin board for questions/collaborations, and access to our professors via email/phone. Pretty much everything it would have been in a traditional program - except it was virtual. For me, it was a great decision. If I had waited to enter a traditional program, I'd probably still be waiting.
Btw...I found doing a synchronous program to be most beneficial. I had previously taken an asynchronous course, and found it really difficult to stay motivated.
