Dismissal of online learning still a thing?

[allvia]

I'm old enough to remember when there was a bias against people who earned their degrees by taking weekend or evening classes, as though the time of day you attended class somehow mattered.

The evening/weekend class stigma is pretty much gone now.

Universal acceptance of online learning will eventually happen, but it will take some time.

OH! I remember this being a common thinking too, I'm pretty sure it was even used as a punchline in a few TV comedy shows...(and maybe on some levels still is - maybe transferred over to 'online').  I have a few lawyer friends who earned their degrees at "night school" and had to work twice as hard to build up their careers at the firm(s) they were at, even though they scored better on the bar exams than many of their traditional FT schooling path lawyer co-workers.  One even graduated the night program from an ivy league and still caught slack.
