Pearl,
The online courses seem a lot more structured and schedule-based than CD Rom courses. The online courses I've taken have required essays, as well, so they actually required more writing and of more types than the CD Rom course seems to. Which option is best really depends on your learning style and ability to stay on task.
Do you have to take arts classes as courses? A lot of people here have had very good success in testing out of those requirements.
I can respect a preference for learning different material in different ways - it's one I have!
