A Virtual Linguistics Campus

Via Twitter, I just discovered the University of Marburg's The Virtual Linguistics Campus, a set of online courses covering a wide range of linguistics topics. Basically, a degree in linguistics online, roughly. The costs appear to be quite low too. A 50€ registration fee per term and 30€ per class. You could take 20 classes over 2 years for about 800€. Not bad.

I object to their categorizing psycholinguistics as "Applied Linguistics" but they have a nice set of Language Technology courses and surprisingly, a Project Management course (though it's not clear if it's specific to linguistics projects, though that would be a great class to offer).

Freely available: The complete set of 18 lectures from Stanford Professor Christopher Manning's Natural Language Processing course. With a nifty web player that allows you to take notes on the video.

CS224N - Natural Language Processing.

Excellent description of topics so you can pick and choose your lecture.
