Depending on the activities in your course, there may be
opportunities to create audio messages to your classmates and/or instructor.
This tutorial demonstrates how to record an audio message in MyFIRE.
When naming a file, MyFIRE will not accept files with
special characters in the title. For more information as to which characters
cannot be used in a title, visit this link: https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Password_special_characters
