Where you have access to all modules starting with the content description and the preliminary section with advice and help on how to use the units. And here are the current content units of VLC 103. As you can see, we have units that look at word meaning. From several angles, we will deal with the meaning of sentences which includes an X-course into logic and we will deal with the meaning of utterances and discuss the principles of conversation. Beyond these central parts, we will look at additional phenomena such as ambiguity and vagueness of meaning or at meaning from a historical perspective. This list of units is growing, updated and quality assured on a regular basis. And our teaching and learning concept while studying online on the virtual linguistics campus simply means go through each unit at your own pace, tick off an activity you have worked through and make use of as many VLC options as possible. And if you don't know what to do first, use our how to proceed options at the beginning of each unit. And as most of you know, each unit should be finished with a mastery test where you can earn your personal VLC badge. Maybe you even prefer using your mobile device. If so, feel free to download the Moodle app, log in and study where and whenever you want. Well, that's it. The rest is up to you. Thanks for your attention and see you on the virtual linguistics campus.
