Victor,
I have no experience with U of Phoenix, but as a college professor, let me share a simple thought. Though much of the coursework and interaction implicit in a college class can operate through AIM, email, and web discussion boards, and the convenience of doing things online is undeniable, there are certain ethical issues which are impossible to work around. The largest one is that of academic honesty. Aside from the simple sort of "This is my work - I promise" statement that is included in most large projects, there are no credible checks on students who cheat.
Simple example: an upper division math student tutors 3-4 pre-med students each week. Pre-med students need exceptional grades to get into med school and the tutor, not wanting to lose the lucrative job, ends up working out the problems for their homework which happens to be web-based. The tutor is happy to have the income and figures that the students are learning something, and the students are happy to be getting good homework grades.
When the professor isn't present there is great temptation and opportunity to cheat - best advice is to go in with your eyes wide open and ask about their academic integrity policy. It'd be a shame to work hard for a degree and then have a cheating scandal break out right around when you're supposed to graduate.
