The Virtual Linguistics Campus (OER)
Welcome to the new (OER) Virtual Linguistics Campus.
On 20 October, the VLC started its first course in the new format: EDU21 (21st Century Education)
These linguistic repositories/courses are now available: VLC100 - Tools & Data, VLC101 - Linguistic Fundmentals, VLC103 - The Nature of Meaning, and VLC104 - Words and Word Structure.
The Virtual Linguistics Campus (VLC) is the world's largest e-learning platform for linguistics and language studies. The VLC offers fully certified linguistic courses and course material for theoretical and applied linguistics as well as educational technology. Furthermore, it includes a variety of linguistic tools and all the communicative facilities necessary for successful e-learning.
On 5 February, 2021, the next course/repository will be made available: VLC203 - The History of English. As usual it is free but can be certified, all parts are licensed in CC BY, and it involves a workload of 90 hours.
Now - with Flash being no option anymore, we recreated our interactive sound charts and successivle will make them available in their VLC courses. We started with "Basic Segments of Speech" in VLC101 and will continue with the Sound Systems of RP and NAE within a week.
Two courses/repositories on Historical Linguistics coming up in January: VLC203 - The History of English and VLC202 - Historical Linguistics (The theoretical background for 203)
On 31 December 2020 we will activate the free open online course (repository) VLC201 - The Structure of English, i.e. our course in PDE grammar. All VLC users will have permanent access to this course/repository and all upgrades from then onwards.
On 7 December we will activate the free open online course (repository) VLC103 - The Nature of Meaning, i.e. our course in semantics and pragmatics. All VLC users will have permanent access to this course/repository and all upgrades from then onwards.
