My wife and I are both working on graduate degrees online. There's a lot of reading and writing. Tons! Lots of books to read and papers to write. (I wrote over 200 pages in my first class.) I guess that's the tradeoff for classroom participation. For us, the flexibility that online degree programs offer is perfect. My wife has set times she has to participate in conferences and due dates each week for various assignments, but my degree doesn't -- for me everything is due the last day of the semester. You may want to ask about any required times that you must be online.
