for very basic training, yes maybe.
but for more advanced subjects i think the lack of like-minded surroundings might have a negative influence. when i hear friends at university talk about their education and what they learn from, they all say that talking to other students about what they learn is very high on the list. it's like learning a language: the best way to do so is to communicate with people who speak it.
it's like math classes. sometimes someone asks a question about a subject that isn't really a problem for you, but the teacher's answer just makes things simpler or easier. that's something you don't have with online studying, such input from different people.
