Firefox Need to get rid of "ImportEnterpriseRoots" Certificate
https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/utbtdl/need_to_get_rid_of_importenterpriseroots
The two ways to lock a preference are:
(1) Enterprise Policy -- check about:policies
This can be done by dropping a file: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/customizing-firefox-using-policiesjson
(2) Autoconfig

What is "ImportEnterpriseRoots" Certificate
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1306557
This is a pretty common question that gets asked here.
The ImportEnterpriseRoots policy is setup by a lot of security programs (antivirus, firewall, etc). Security programs often use this policy so that they can view incoming secure connections to check that the content is safe, without triggering error messages in Firefox.
That policy has no impact on what settings you will be able to use in Firefox. It will cause the "Your computer is being managed by your organization" warning message to appear on top of the settings page, but that's it.
Removing that policy from your computer often causes your security program to stop working and/or will cause issues in Firefox when loading some websites.
Hope this clears things up for you.

10 ways to bulk convert audio files into one
From: https://multimedia.easeus.com/video-editing-tips/audio-joiner.html#part3
3. Copy Command on Windows
Platform: Windows
Windows allows you to merge audio from the command prompt. Here is the command you can use is as follows:
copy /b *.mp3 c:\merged.mp3
The command above means it will find all MP3 files in the directory and join them into the merged.mp3 file.
If you want to add only a few files add them accordingly using a "+" sign in between.
- Pros
No need to install a software
The simplest way to merge audio files without losing quality
- Cons
Not possible to edit the files
No way to change the format of the output file
Cumbersome to use.
VLC
Source: https://www.videoproc.com/audio-editor/best-audio-mergers.htm
3. How to Merge MP3 Files on Windows 10 with VLC
VLC is an open-source free program that you can free access to. Based on its introduction of how to merge videos, we have tested its capability of combining audio files, and it turns out to be feasible as well. Before we kick off, you need to make sure that all of your audio files have the file extension of .mp3. Otherwise, this method may not work for you. (Notice: if you have different formatted audio files such as .flac and .mp3, see the workaround.)
Step 1. Download and install VLC on your computer.
You are recommended to install VLC locally by its default route.
Step 2. Use the keyboard shortcuts
Win+X > click Command Prompt in the pop-up list.
Or, use the hotkey combination
Win+R to open Run >
type cmd in the box >
hit Enter
Then the Command Prompt will be opened as well.
Run Command Prompt
[Win+R] > cmd to run Command Prompt
Step 3. In the Command Prompt, enter the command: cd c:\mp3, then hit the Enter key.
- Sidenote: The c:\mp3 command is the file folder directory where your mp3 audio files are kept. If your audio files are kept on C disk, c:\ file location
Step 4: There will be c:\mp3> command already existing, copy and paste commands as follows:
"C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -vv 1.mp3 2.mp3 --sout-keep --sout=#gather:transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=128}:standard{access=file,mux=dummy,dst=combinedout.mp3}
- Sidenotes:
- 1. C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe command refers to the directory path where the VLC launching program is located in your Windows computer, which is also the default path of VLC setup. Change it if you've set a different destination path for your VLC installation.
- 2. The 1.mp3 2.mp3 command refers to the filename of your audio tracks. Customize the part based on your personal demands.
- 3. The combinedout.mp3 command refers to the file name of the combined file. You can change it to the one you like.

FREE PROGRAMS How to record a presentation - free programs
In Module 4 you will prepare and share a recorded version of the presentation or policy brief that you created in Capstone 2. Then you will participate in an online "conference" in which you view at least 2 of your peers presentations and comment on them.
The link for posting will be available in Module 4 as well as the Discussion tab in the main menu.
Please DO NOT WAIT until the due date to record and post your presentation. SEVERAL students in the past have reported that it has taken their computer hours to covert and upload videos. Be prepared for this to happen to you too and get it done before the due date.
I also strongly discourage students from attempting to record audio on individual slides in PowerPoint at all. MANY students have had issues with this process and the software will not execute this process on Apple computers. The wheel will just spin for hours on end. If you record on individual slides and then try to use the software listed below to screencast the audio is often very poor. Use PowerPoint only as your visual guide and record your audio using different software.
In the document below you will find more detailed instructions on how to complete this process as well as a grading rubric.

Capstone 3 Course Presentation
Instructions and Grading Rubric
As part of Capstone 3, students share their capstone 2 research/presentations with their peers by participating in an “online conference” in the Capstone 3 course. Each student completes the conference during the session in which he/she is registered for capstone 3.
Below are steps/guidelines for completing this presentation assignment. Each of the items below must be completed by posted deadlines:
Update your presentation or policy brief using the feedback you received in Capstone 2. You can access this in your Capstone 2 course.
Review and implement Design Guidelines below
Rehearse your presentation!
Decide how you are going to record your presentation.

iSpring Free Cam 8
Additional options I have not tried personally: https://elearningindustry.com/free-screencast-software-create-high-quality-videos
Free versions of these softwares may have watermarks on them. As long as it does not completely block out the content of your slides, it is fine.
Record your presentation and convert it to a movie file.
The presentation must be 9-10 minutes long and related to your capstone 2 paper topic and include citations and references.
Presentations longer than 25 minutes will be deducted points. Be concise!
Be sure to practice your presentation several times before recording in an environment free of background noise.
Resources are available in the course as well as the Blackboard Masters Program Organization > About Capstone Courses > Capstone 2/3 Presentation > “Recording Presentation Tips for resources” to help you with this process.
Decide where you will post your presentation for sharing. Some options include:
Youtube
Vimeo
Google Drive
You will not be able to attach your presentation to your discussion board post. You need to provide a link to it.
Make sure your link is public so that your peers can view it. Consider testing it on a different computer/browser than the one you uploaded it in before posting on the DB to make sure it works. Not adjusting the privacy settings is a common mistake that can prevent others from viewing it.
Participate in the conference:
Introduce your topic in your discussion post and be sure to include at least 2 thought provoking discussion questions/prompts for your peers to answer.
Watch and respond to 2 of your classmates' presentations. Responses should be at least 100 words in length and be substantive and thoughtful.
**Note that “substantive” and “thoughtful” means the question must relate to the content of the presentation. Questions/comments such as “great presentation!” or “how did you create the presentation?” or “I like the colors you used in your presentation” do not count. 100 word minimum for all posts.**
Design GuidelinesQuick tips:
Font size should be approximately 24 - 32 (don't make it too small!)
Keep text brief - most of the content should be spoken. Do not make people read what you are saying. Full sentences should be RARE in a powerpoint presentation.
Make sure it is easy to read the text on the slides.
Pictures should be meaningful and enhance the presentation.

Examples of quality design: I don't expect you to be graphic artists...but these presentations give an overall sense of how much content/text and what type of text belongs on a slide.
Do your research! Take some time to investigate/google how to make a quality presentation and how to give a quality presentation.
