There’s no homework, no tuition and no tests. No credit, either. But now anyone with access to the web can become a college student. In February, West Virginia University is launching a series of free online courses taught by professors. The experiment follows a national trend, and the courses are open to anyone anywhere. The only requirements are an Internet connection and an eagerness to learn something new. The Charleston Daily Mail says the one-week courses start Mondays with “Learning to Cope with our Robot Overloads.” The first batch focus on technology and social media, which communications professor Nick Bowman says are logical topics for online learners.
