I teach at both the Juco(ground) and Master's Level(online) and I will tell you teaching the online version of material is much more work. I have seen the 'easy' word used in this thread and I think that is highly subjective.

Specifically, online learning requires disipline...and a lot of writing. I have found that getting my master's in both ground and online forums the online version to be much more labor intensive, and I had very little room to "hide".

Best of luck in your decision.

I would try it and see how it goes. Taking 3 of them may be a little too much to chew unless you won't be doing anything else (no work, etc.)
