I don't know how online courses work, but all the lectures are available for download via Aplia anyways, with the slides and audio. So if you miss a lecture every now and then, just download that lecture. Or just subscribe to the podcast and skip the lectures entirely, if you want.
As for sitting near the front to understand the prof, the sound system in that lecture hall is great. I've sat at the back so far, and it's not a problem.
Personally, I plan to attend the lectures since I know I'll take better notes there.
