Our goal at that time was to facilitate schools by providing multimedia content,” explained the head of the community service team, Filosa Gita Sukmono. “The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak has made multimedia online learning an important role,” he added.

The Principal of SD Muhammadiyah Karangturi, Indrawasih S, Pd stated that this partnership with UMY community service program has brought many benefits to the school. “With this multimedia learning tool, we can further develop learning activities for students online, so that SD Muhammadiyah Karangturi can continue to be a great school,” she explained.
