For people with visual and hearing impairments, the variety of learning and media used differs from ordinary people. The paradigm can be student-centered or with cognitive, affective, psychomotor, visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learning styles.

This notion was conveyed by a lecturer at the Faculty of Engineering, Dr.

To expand the cooperation network, Prof. Sumaryanto, as Rector of UNY, was accompanied by Vice-Rector for Planning and Cooperation, Prof. Siswantoyo. His entourage recently opened the door for cooperation in the African region. The collaboration was carried out with the University of Burundi, in Bujumbura City. The University of Burundi, established in 1964, is a public university in a country that has recently been free from war and civil conflict for approximately 70 years. Soldiers and police officers always carry rifles in every corner of the city.

After the Covid-19 pandemic, the transformation of the digital world is getting more substantial—more and more cyber immigrants of various ages. Social media is no longer exclusive to young people.

This situation causes the trend/identity they carry to be not good.

The catastrophic eruptions of Mount Merapi in 2006 and 2010 became an unforgettable experience.
