I think this questions may have several answers. The first one is about respect, of course I will respect anyone and his qualification  that comes to me for work it doesn't matter if it is an online scholar or a full time student.

The question of hiring him/her very much depends on what i as the recruiter is looking for, from the prospective employees (applicants). Does he/she have the necessary skills, experience, qualification, etc that i am looking for or that will enable him/her to be competent in the work that i am going to offer.  

After having considered all this, i can decide who is the candidate for the job.

Definitely respect due to all positions are valuable.  Recruitment depends on organizational demand whether it would be online or in-person course.

Probation period and performance matters.  In standard Organizations, they follow certain stipulations as Qualification and where your experience from.

(As of now  many qualifications and experience can be purchased by undergoing certain minor processes)

Qualification should be a quality to work  but a piece of paper.

The training and experience through online determine whether they are capable of certification.

I believe educational qualifications are to east to obtain in todays world and value experience over qualifications. I do however, sympathise with people who choose this route as there are often no other way to get noticed.  Its worth interviewing them though, as I normally find if the person fits the job will too. Good question.
