About the Video: Curious about online courses? This video offers a peek into COM 200: Intro to Communication taught by Kimberly Laux. The format for this course is online asynchronous; that means it does not meet virtually at a specific day/time (although there are still deadlines that must be met). The video describes how this particular course is organized and the kinds of content students will find in their weekly learning modules.
