We have rediscovered our old hobby, music. With the help of AI, we are currently generating songs for our new YouTube-channel: . Among others, the songs are about famous literary works, stories about strange characters and country folklore. Here is our musical tribute to more than 700 VL2C-users from Pakistan, sung in Urdu with minor English code-switching combined with a big "thank you" for their activities: ... further countries to follow.

The basic framework of this song about the beauty of Pakistan, which combines western and traditional Pakistani elements and instruments, was generated using...

On a personal note:
Dear subscribers to this channel,

In order to keep this channel reserved for linguistics and literature, I have decided to remove most of the music from this channel and create a new channel specifically for my music:

Juergen's Music Channel: https://www.youtube.com/

Music has been an important part of my life since my childhood: progressive rock with my band Deadlock in Hanover in the 1970s, Jethro Tull classics live throughout Germany between 1994 and 2011, including the release of a CD, and since 2025 the setting of literary and other content to music with AI support. I have compiled all the songs I have already produced in this (growing) new channel:

- Juergen Handke - Deadlock (my band from the 1970s)
- AI-Assisted Literature Songs (the musical adaptation of well-known works)
- Prog Rock with Handke & AI (new songs thanks to AI)
- Juergen Handke Plays Jethro Tull (live/studio recordings)

If you have the time and inclination, have a listen or subscribe to the new music channel.

Yours,
Prof. Dr. Jürgen Handke
VL2C Project Manager (and musician)

The basic framework of this rock song was generated using Soniva Music AI plus Audacity post-editing. Handke added his voice and his flute where possible. "T...

How can generative AI be used productively in content development for online courses? The VLC solution: moving away from predefined digital solutions with pre-generated content towards a system of AI-/Human-generated questions to be solved by the student, whose role changes from that of a consumer to a researcher. The video shows exactly what this looks like using the first AI Enhanced Micro-Credential Course on the VLC: ‘MC44 - The History of the English Language’. Self-enroll to MC44 and find out how it works!

In this video, Prof. Dr. Jürgen Handke, the Virtual Linguistics Campus Project-Manager, introduces a new method of imparting, and acquiring knowledge, using ...

Even if not perfect yet, personal avatars are becoming increasingly important on the VLC - last but not least for reasons of production effort. They already play an important role in various administrative areas (announcements, areas of interest, brief explanations, etc.). And the humans (in our case the VLC Team) are still responsible for the quality of the content. And all this true to our general policy: Don't talk, do!

This short video presents the latest innovations and figures of the Virtual Linguistics Campus. Prof. Handke presents this information for September 2024.Qua...
