The course is one of the modules of the program “ Multi-level STEM acquisition in primary school (1st-6th grades)”. First steps in robotics by using Lego Mindstorms EV3, which is based on practice and research-based insights.
The aim of the course is to expand participants' knowledge and understanding of how learning about robotics in primary school helps the student to develop various skills (for example, creating a strategy , algorithmic thinking, etc.) and habits (communicate about what is created, test it, etc.) by using the engineering design cycle.
In the classes, teachers will have the opportunity to analyze different learning situations and teaching materials as well as discuss about them, exchange their experience, and additionally practically play out different situations where the engineering design cycle must be implemented.
The main objective of the course is to explain the concepts of urban regeneration and integrated urban development and to describe the specific processes, methods and instruments related to these. The teaching methods will include lectures, seminars, debates and workshops. The module will include theoretical and practical activities and will be mostly interactive. A number of best practices in the field will be analysed, especially based on the last 2 decades of European experience and projects will be developed for selected areas of intervention from Riga, Copenhagen and other cities. By the end of the course the students will get an adequate understanding and the capabilities to develop integrated projects and urban regeneration strategies. Communication skills and team working in international and interdisciplinary surroundings will also be developed during the course practical teaching sessions. The evaluation of the module will be based on the elaboration of an integrated
The course goal is to form and to develop the basic speaking, listening, reading and writing skills in French which are necessary for communication in everyday situations as well as in professional context. The course provides basic knowledge in phonetics, the vocabulary and grammar elements that are essential for primary communication focusing on the learners communicative competence (linguistic, socio-cultural and learning competence). All the class activities are based on practical real life situations so that the students can become active participants in learning process.
All the lessons have joint approach: 1) reading/listening of the document (text, dialogue), 2) verification of understanding, 3) memorization, 4) communication, 5) consolidation of knowledge.
This course corresponds to beginner level (A1 - „Breakthrough”) of the Common European framework for language learning.
Improve knowledge and practical skills for ear, nose and throat diseases. During lectures there will be emphasized latest trends of diagnostics and treatment of ORL diseases, obstructive sleep apnea Otorhinolaryngological aspects, latest technology usage options in ORL, and re-focused attention on the actions of emergency situations.
There is specifically designed information to emphasize the choice of antimicrobial treatment strategy and the duration of treatment.
There will be updated general practitioner’s responsibilities for postoperative period management of patients’ operated in ORL clinic.
During practical lessons students will have training on ORL objective investigation, hearing investigation with tonometer, ear and nasal foreign bodies removal and ear plugs sulfur leaching. During the course there are planned two discussions about different questions interesting to general practitioners about ear, nose and throat diseases.
Objective of course – to equip students with theoretical knowledge and practical skills on strategic planning of hybrid library and digital resources.
The course gives an overview about new trends in library science and library work. Different definitions of hybrid, digital, electronic or virtual library are discussed. A new strategy towards an integrated library will be presented. The tools needed on the way to a hybrid, digital and integrated library are described and discussed, i.e. aspects like project management, change and strategic management. The second part of the course starts with the discussion of basic techniques for the digitization of library materials and for electronic archiving and leads to the presentation of all relevant electronic media and electronic services. Electronic journals and monographs are presented as well as new electronic services and the changing role of library catalogues in a hybrid library.
. Visitors to the event will have the opportunity to get acquainted with the achievements of the past year in innovation, support in the creation of start-up companies, promotion of scientific cooperation, outstanding excellence among students, doctoral students and researchers. Conversations with inspirational people, success stories about the use of technology and discoveries await those present. Presentations of the best teams of the idea laboratory, awarding and closing of the evening. Everyone will be able to get inspired, learn something new and also take part in one of the activities. "The aim of the New Technologies and Innovation Day is to showcase the latest discoveries in technology and science in an exciting and understandable way for all, thus raising public awareness and interest in study, research and innovation and strengthening our confidence that science is open, attractive and promising today." emphasizes prof. Signe Bāliņa , Head of LU Innovation Center of the University
