Even though online education was originally developed as a method for enhancing adult learning, you are seeing more and more of it for the purpose of reaching places that are simply away from regular schools.
If the child has the opportunity to attend a brick and mortar institution, I would suggest that. However, if this is in a combination of home schooling, then there are still networks of home schoolers that allow the interaction with other children. Children need to learn communicable and social skills.
That would be my main concern. So, if it is an issue of distance or you have already decided in home schooling, then enhance it with an online program. However, if it the b&m school is available and it is a decent school, stay with the traditional format.

Children with an online education are not going to get out as much as one that actually go to school. They are not going to get the people skills that they need later in life.
