West Virginia University is launching a series of free online courses starting Monday.
The classes, taught by WVU professors and focusing on real life issues like technology overload and dating online, are open to everyone from any location.
The Charleston Daily Mail said the first course is called "Coping with our Robot Overlords." The second on Feb. 11 will focus on online relationships. It's called "Love at First Like."
A class on cyberbullying follows Feb. 18, and the month ends with "Understanding and Conquering Technology Overload."
Communications professor Nick Bowman says the online courses allow students to do as much or as little work as they like.
