Editing your Online Profile

In Moodle everyone registered in a Course has a profile. You can edit your profile by going to the 'people' block in this course (this is located on the right hand side of the front of the Course Homepage. It will look similar to this:

profile image

(Note: This is a screen shot image, for example use only).

Once you have clicked on 'edit profile' you will be taken into the user profile page. This page is fairly self explanatory and allows you to make alterations to your address, your description and the like.

Important points in Profile

  • your email address is significant as it is from this that you will be contacted and receive important notices from the forums and dialogues. Please be sure that this address is reliable and accurate. If you have an email account with the University it is best to supply this address in the profile section instead of a free webmail address such as hotmail.

  • Moodle allows you to upload an image of yourself in the current picture field. Before you can do this, ensure that you have an electronic image of yourself that you can locate using the 'browse' button.
