The Virtual Linguistics Campus - University-level linguistics online
The Virtual Linguistics Campus bills itself as “the world’s largest linguistics pMOOC Curriculum”. I took the opportunity to register and poke around their website. It is, indeed, a comprehensive set of educational resources. You can register for free to access any of their linguistics courses (from what I can tell they make money from selling courses in CSS and HTML).
Here’s the home screen for their Linguistics 101 ‘Fundamentals’. It covers more or less what I’ve seen in most introductory courses. Each course section includes videos to introduce content, worksheets, readings and questions to answer. If you’re thinking of studying linguistics, or don’t have access to a course at your university this could be a structured way to learn more.
The full list of courses currently available is below. Even if you don’t want to register to do their courses all the videos are available on Youtube from what I can gather.
