To clarify "use online calculators", I meant to use an online calculator like the ones advised by Saylor Academy or whichever course provider you're taking the course from.
Further to those authorized and recommended calculators, there's an online calculator within ALEKS, I also use the simple google calculator and the built in calculator in windows. Why? Because I don't usually have a physical calculator at all times, and it's easier to punch in the info on my WinXP/7 or Win10 PC/Laptop.
I am not advocating cheating and I myself don't recommend using any other "online calculator" besides the ones mentioned above otherwise, you don't learn anything.
However, if the courses from your provider such as Penn Foster, Saylor, Straighterline, or Study.com require a scientific calculator, you can use those as long as it's accepted in the class. Read what's accepted for each class and use it to your benefit.

Straighterline: What materials can I use during an exam? A calculator
(for math and science courses requiring calculations only, please note what type of calculator [graphing vs. scientific] is permitted for your specific exam)

JSD, or someone, If you have the time, please place this onto the wikia page for clarification.
There's a difference between cheating and having online open resources as recommended by the institution.
For the student, just be careful and follow what's in each educations recommendations. Thank you.
