Onlline learning is getting respect in both the "real world" and academia. That may be one of the positive outcomes of the COVID fight we have been in for the last couple of years. Instructors are learning thst it isn't the same as face-to-face and students are learning is isn't as easy as they thought.
To me the real keys are to know your students and meet them where they start. Strong support and providing alternative tools for learning are also important to the process.
