A student's success or lack thereof is usually attributed to various individual factors: personal learning style, motivation, preference, initiative, life style, work, family situation ...etc. I recommend running through that checklist and then come up with your profile. IMHO, the most important factors on that list are your personal learning style and motivation.
Keep in mind there is a third option. Some classes offer a combination of both class and DL. This is an excellent manner of introducing yourself to DL. Good luck!

Great advice.
The reason I went ahead and pre-registered for Economics (DL) is because of the professor. In addition to Econ, she teaches Distance Learning Education courses. Apparantly, people around here will wait a long time to get in one of her DL courses -- whatever the subject.
