It is different when there are no required class meetings or scheduled contact with your classmates and instructor. You are responsible for following the study schedule recommended by the instructor. You have to take much more responsibility for contacting the instructor when you have questions or problems. Some of us learn best working in a group, some of us learn best working alone. Distance learning is a good choice for people who are good at learning independently.
Auditory learners do better when they hear information presented.
Visual learners do much better reading. Kinesthetic learners learn best when there is an actual hands-on task they can accomplish. Internet delivered courses, however, require you to be a good visual learner because of the large amount of reading and writing. For an independent study course enhanced with videos, you should be comfortable with both visual and auditory learning because information in the text is seldom repeated in the videos. If you really want the course, and this is the best or the only way for you to take it, none of the other considerations may matter.
