Jürgen Handke (born 13 April 1954) is a German professor of English linguistics and a pioneer of new digital teaching methods.
Life
Handke originally studied English, sports, and philosophy to become a teacher at Universität Hannover from 1975 to 1980 and did his postgraduate in linguistics at the University of Reading from 1981 to 1983.
He was research assistant in Hannover from 1981 to 1984. In 1984, Handke did his Ph.D, writing his dissertation on adverbial clauses in English.
From 1984 to 1991 Handke was research assistant at Universität Wuppertal, where he wrote his habilitation dissertation Natural Language Processing and Implementation in LISP under the supervision of Gisa Rauh in 1990.
Since 1991, Handke has been working as a professor of English at Philipps-Universität Marburg. His focus is on linguistics and e-learning.
Additionally, Handke is an advisor to several German state governments and a member of the national board "Hochschulforum Digitalisierung".[citation needed]
Virtual Linguistics Campus
Handke began to use innovative, digital, and interactive teaching methods in the form of CD-Roms in the early 1990s. This new way of teaching resulted in the creation of the world’s first and largest e-learning platform for linguistics, the Virtual Linguistics Campus (VLC).[1] The VLC offers more than 250 fully certified linguistic courses and course material for theoretical and applied linguistics, ranging from introductory classes such as Phonology, Morphology, Syntax und Semantics to highly specialized courses such as ‘The Use of English in Lyrics, ‘The Language and Culture of the Uyghur people’ and ‘Massive Open Online Courses’ (MOOCs).
Currently, the VLC has more than 15,000 active users with more than 3,000 visitors daily. In 2013, Handke started the Virtual Linguistics Campus YouTube channel, now the largest linguistics channel in the world with almost 3 million clicks and more than 38,000 users and more than 500 videos, which all involve the CC BY licensing model.[2]
In 2017, Handke has started integrating humanoid robots into his in-class scenarios as part of his government funded project [3]
Published works
Since 2012, Handke has published several books about modern teaching. The most influential ones are 2012 'E-Learning, E-Teaching and E-Assessment', 2014 'Patient Hochschullehre' and 2015 'Handbuch Hochschullehre Digital'.[citation needed]
Similarly to his videos on 'Teaching and Learning in the 21st Century' (German title ‘Die Hochschullehre im 21. Jahrhunder- vom inverted Classroom zum MOOC‘), ‘Patient Hochschullehre’[4] heavily criticizes the methods typically used by universities and colleges to teach content as well as their inability to adapt to their target group.
Music career
Alongside his academic work, Handke is also a musician and has been playing music since his early teenage years. In the 1970s, he played with Matthias Jabs (later Scorpions) and Hannes Folberth (later Eloy) amongst others in a band called ‘Deadlock'.[5] The band split in 1977 because Handke decided to solely focus on Linguistics and went to England. One of their old recordings has been published on YouTube. This recording was produced "live" in Deadlock's rehearsal room and recorded on a two-track reel-to-reel machine. Handke himself commented: ‘We were young and enthusiastic at the time and the music reflects the heavy rock of the roaring 1970s.’[6]
