I don't know about whether or not there's an online component - you can check past course outlines to see what's been done previously, though that's no guarantee it'll be the same this year - but it's way too early for you to be thinking about buying textbooks. As a general rule, wait until the first class to see if the textbook(s) is/are even necessary. Often the prof will also tell you whether or not you can get away with older editions (which are easier to find used) or if you need the current version. Also, if they're using a new version this year, used books might be the wrong version.
