 This presentation introduces you to the content of the VLC class, Linguistic Engineering, Linguistics and the Web. The presentation is organized as follows. First, we will look at the content of the class and its syllabus. Then we will provide an overview of the educational principles and will finally list the requirements students have to fulfill in order to get the class credits. The class is subdivided into three central parts. After an overview of the role of the computer in linguistics within the context of the internet, we will look at the various applications of web technologies for linguistics from language technologies to the use of the computer in linguistic research. This includes the discussion and exemplification of as many as possible web-based examples. The second part of our class is devoted to a more specific perspective. We will look at the components of multimedia from a theoretical point of view. For example, how do we present text on the web or what are the central guidelines for using images or sound? The last three sessions focus on the specialization modules of our MA program, Linguistics and Web Technology and provide you with an overview of possible applications of web technologies within each specialization module of your degree program. Our class is a true online class. It does not involve any in-class meetings. However, there will be constant electronic contact between the class instructor and the students. And most importantly, like most VLC classes, all units are supported by multimedia and video and involve numerous interactive exercises. So the content that is delivered to you consists of two components. First of all, we have our highly interactive multimedia content, the so-called virtual sessions. And then we have video clips, the so-called e-lectures. These are never longer than 15 minutes and are closely connected with the virtual sessions, but they can also be accessed via our YouTube channel. This combination of multimedia and video is unparalleled in the world of e-education. Now finally, you want to know what you have to do in order to get the class credits. Now, in fact, this class involves four credits where one credit is the equivalent of about 30 hours workload. Well, first of all, you have to do 11 ungraded e-worksheets. Now these have been implemented in order to make sure that you have grasped and understood the content of each e-learning unit. Then we have two graded worksheets. And finally, you will have to do an e-exam, which is evaluated with 80% of the overall grade. Well, seeing you on the Virtual Linguistics Campus, well, not really in class, but online. Until then.
