RESUMEN
The objectives of this study were to investigate and improve the university instructor's content knowledge and technological skills relating to digital learning. The research participants involved 260 lecturers from eleven education departments that teach 260 subject matters at a private university in NTB Province, Indonesia. We verified the instructor's content knowledge through the availability of course materials suitable to students' competencies needed and their potential. Then, it identified the instructor's skill in using information and communications technology (ICT) devices and analyzed the data. Enforcing an online learning workshop for the instructors who still had low digital knowledge, we evaluated their efforts during workshop activities. This research found that in the online learning process during and post the COVID-19 pandemic, the lecturers' course material preparation was generally unsatisfactory, even though they had good competencies in the use of ICT tools. This study gave information that the instructors who had abilities to digital devices did not automatically provide good services in online learning and technology adaptation processing for students. Fortunately, by training lecturers in the e-learning platform, the institution's efforts have to be successful in solving this problem. The training approach appertained dealing with the content knowledge improvement could affect their productivity in creating the learning media based on ICT and the presentation to be interesting. The instructors could enrich the content quality. The simulation exercise of the e-learning platform improved the instructors' competency related to the benefits of e-learning devices, the arranging of course materials, and students' learning activities management. For future development, we suggest that the institution must provide progressive support and training to ensure the continuity of online learning in the university. © 2022, City University of Hong Kong Press.

RESUMEN
As a large country with thousands of ethnic groups and cultures, it is hoped that every city in Indonesia will have its uniqueness. However, preliminary data collected from 10 major cities in Indonesia shows no identity. The most visited public places in these cities, i.e., parks and squares, which are ideally associated with nature's sound, are dominated by human noise and traffic noise. Surprisingly, a noisy acoustic environment is not considered a nuisance. The study reported here looks further at how the public place visitors perceived the acoustic environment during their visit. Also, to know whether the participants perceive unique sound that builds the sound environment of the public place. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, an online questionnaire developed using a 5-point Likert scale was distributed to collect data. Five hundred and ninety-six respondents participated in the survey. A one-way ANOVA test was run to identify the mean point of the data gathered. At no surprise, it is again strengthened the former study, in which the participants perceived the urban environment in Indonesia as a busy environment. It is, again, caused mainly by traffic noise and human activity noise, and that no unique sound has emerged in the studied cities. The study's findings shall initiate a program to revive the unique sound of Indonesian cities as they were in the past. © INTER-NOISE 2021 .All right reserved.
