What are the benefits of taking an online AP class?

I am a senior with a light-ish schedule. I want to take an online AP class (probably with scout) to try to combat this. I know that it won’t show up on my transcript. What are the benefits of taking online ap classes? Do colleges care?

In our school district, online courses actually show up on transcript and can be counted towards graduation requirement. Many students take that to overcome schedule conflict.

You get AP credit which may help you get some class out of the way when you reach college.

where are you taking the AP online courses?
