The original version of this internet resource was designed in 2008 as a coursework assignment for the Certificate in Humanities Computing for Languages (CHUCOL) offered by the Faculty of Modern & Medieval Languages at the University of Cambridge. The CHUCOL course was set up in 2000 by Gavin Burnage, former CALL officer at the MML Faculty, and many students have taken the course since then, benefiting from this unique opportunity to acquire computing skills which can be combined with linguistic and literary studies in a wide range of ways. I took the course in 2007/08 and would like to acknowledge the excellent teaching and guidance provided by the main instructors—Mel Leggatt and Notis Toufexis.
