I'd love to see a reputable university come up with a killer online MFA or MS degree in interaction design, preferably something like Carnegie Mellon, NYU or Stanford and something that's part time. There's other programs online for computer engineering---why not interaction design?
I realize the convenience that would afford. However, I don't believe a good design program could be done as a solely online course. It's been debated on the list in the past, but the studio experience is an important part of design education. An online course would also curtail the ability to do group projects, which I feel are necessary.
An online program would be fine for getting a degree, but not for getting the experience that degree should represent.
