I believe for capacity building purpose online course is good and cost effective option. But for work and employement purpose it is mostly dependent on the expectation of prospect manager/HR/ or recruiter. One can have good knowledge and to great extent he can have big spectrum of working with newly acquired knowledge.

Yes definately, online training will be useful to improve the new knowledge and skills to perform better in your job. It is the way of cost effective training as well as helpful for full-time employee who are not able to attend training course in abroad. Finally, Online training was very helpful when I was getting course from eCornell University USA.

Sometimes.  Online courses effective if learner intends to use the skills frequently.

Otherwise, the information learnt can be quickly forgotten, unless of course a user guide has been issued with the online course.

If someone is clear about what they want to learn and take away from an online course, then they can be focussed on this and find it useful.  

Need to have a good attention span to do online courses.  Too long and people tend to lose interest and short breaks taken often are useful.
