UF Computing Requirements states that Firefox is the Browser for UF use. As a backup for video use you can try CHROME 
but, over the years this browser had failed at times.
Very poor choices for browswers are Internet Explorer and Safari

As a Student; How do I create a new ePortfolio?
As eTools and cloud services become increasingly available it is extremely important to make informed choices about appropriate use of these resources, taking into consideration both benefits and risks.
eTools Restrictions and Caveats
Creating collaborative learning experiences is imperative to increasing learner engagement and creating a community within your course. Through collaboration, students can work together with peers to negotiate meaning and view topics from different perspectives. Flipgrid is a tool that allows students to collaboratively discuss different topics through video responses to a specific topic. Through this tool, students can easily view and reply to their fellow students' or teacher's posts. From a grading perspective, all student responses are recorded in Speedgrader (Links to an external site.) within Canvas for easy grading.

UFIT transitioned the Lynda.com service to LinkedIn Learning between the Spring and Summer A semesters. The new online training platform includes all of the courses from Lynda.com plus thousands of additional technology, business, marketing, leadership, and lifestyle offerings. All you need are valid Gatorlink credentials and an internet connection for FREE 24/7 access.
Now that the transition is complete, any courses you took on Lynda will show up in your LinkedIn Learning “history”. In addition to the number of available courses doubling on the new platform, LinkedIn Learning also provides an enhanced user experience, including course recommendations based on your job title, geographic location, and market trends. Learners can also add badges for completed trainings to their LinkedIn professional profile. The UF Computing Help Desk is ready to help you transition to LinkedIn Learning! Just call (352-392-HELP/4357), email, or stop by Hub 132 during walk-in hours for assistance.
By Default MAC computers HIDE EXTENSIONS -> THE FIX
There is a known issue with Sophos anti-virus on Mac's running OS-X 10.8 (Mountain Lion). Basically, the Sophos service shuts itself off periodically, and the client gets quarantined from the wireless. There is a discussion thread on the Sophos anti-virus web-site because this appears to be a known issue.
Many times Macintosh disables or HIDES extensions on files. This will cause an issue for assignments. Your instructor will not be able to open the file. ALWAYS make sure that Hide extensions is UNCHECKED!!! In the example below the homework is not going to be able to be graded. Resulting in a Zero Grade.
