Day three of the conference and there was a very interesting presentation in the e-learning strand by Peter Purg. He talked about time as a resource ans students perception of the workload being dependant on how engaged they were. More to come on this. There was also an interesting presentation by Janis Kaperniks on 'just in time' learning using mobile phones.
The evening meal was very pleasant and then we were told we would be enjoying something typically Latgalian. Largale is a distinct region of Latvia which has had different influences over the years and has quite a distinct local dialect. We were encouraged to move to the next room where a band was set up to play. We were then lined up and spent the rest of the evening doing increasingly complicated Latgalian folk dances. The more complicated they were, the faster the band seemed to play and the more mistakes we made but that was all part of the fun - I think.
