Is online college easier now?

[Duneranger]

I am curious about online undergraduate college, particularly from the perspective of those who attended in person years ago and again more recently.  Are the online programs easier than college years ago - like in the 90’s or so?  I’ve taken graduate courses from a couple of schools now and the format has been pretty similar.  And it seems much easier than what I recall from my undergrad years. The big difference that I see are the capstone/cornerstones.  I never had to do anything like that.  My son is a HS junior and still has no idea what he wants to do.  Like, not even a slight clue.  He doesn’t like school, but hasn’t completely written off going to college.  He also hasn’t expressed interest in any trades either. When I talk to him about college, I don’t want to be too “out of touch” with what it’s like now.  I would also be interested to hear from anyone who has done online and in-person recently.

Yes,  much easier. The CBE programs like UMPI were ridiculously easier
