There are a few universities in Canada that really focus on distance learning. Athabasca U here in Alberta is one.
This sounds like the closest to the course you mentioned (not sure if it's the same grade level):

You'd have to talk with your program advisor about how it would intersect with both program requirements & any funding you're getting, but it would also help with your uncertainty about work load: Since Athabasca's individualized study courses are learn-at-your-own-pace, you could start a course in winter term & stretch it into summer as needed (I think there's usually a 1-year time limit).
And to your main point: Ugh! Group projects should never be the majority of evaluation. Even separate from the exclusion of people who can't fit that type of interaction in their lives, there's the classic issue of how to ensure equal contribution.
