[Corpora-List] Survey: interactive websites for teaching

[Adam Kilgarriff]

Dear all,
    Interactive websites for teaching NLP and corpus linguistics

Do you know of any neat websites that could be used to demo and teach
about NLP and corpus linguistics?

I am surveying what is available, either produced for teaching or which
(like some product demos) could play a useful role in teaching.  My
goals are both for input to our MSc (Lexical Computing and Lexicography)
and as a small research project into the web and pedagogy (with ref to
NLP/corpus linguistics).

Feedback from students and teachers about how well the sites supported
student learning are of particular interest.

Items of most interest are those that do not have access restrictions,
do not involve installing anything and will make sense to decent
linguistics majors (eg not too specialist)

Examples/items already on my list include:

NLP Research
    Dekang Lin's parser, dependency database, corpus-based word clusters
etc  http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/~lindek/demos.htm
    Rada Mihalcea and Tim Chklovski's OpenMind page for doing manual WSD
http://teach-computers.org/word-expert.html
    Waspbench: http://wasps.itri.bton.ac.uk

Web research
    Google labs - sets function
        (also now-almost-standard search engine functions like
translation, access to online dictionaries, view-as-html, similar-pages)
    citeseer

NLP commercial
    Conexor tagger and parser

Corpus query
    BNC online
    Tomaz Erjavec's Multext-east bilingual concordancing
    Mark Davies's corpus lingustics (in Spanish)
http://mdavies.for.ilstu.edu/hisspan

Other - computer science
    Regexp learning:
http://www.itri.brighton.ac.uk/courses/MScLex/exercises/regex

Don't quite meet the criteria as they're not very interactive but worth
including nonetheless-
    Corpora's own archive, plus indexes into it from  http://www.siglex.org
    WordNet

If I get much interest, I'll post a summary.

Thanks very much,

        Adam Kilgarriff
