Absolutely online, on my own time, at my own convenience, without having to get dressed and drive somewhere.  No offense to every real estate agent out there, as it does not apply to all, but frankly, it's a lot of effort to get to a class and listen to a bunch of anecdotal stories about others' adventures in real estate.  Trust me, we all have the same stories. I'm there to learn, not be entertained.
