| | #redirect [[Update profile]] |
| This page should explain what can be seen on the <u>moodlesite.com/user/edit.php</u> page
| |
| when a user is editing their profile
| |
|
| |
|
| To edit your personal information, click on "Edit profile", which you will find on the class page, under the “People” section.
| | Most Moodle sites allow users to edit their profile. This is done by using the ''Settings > My profile settings > Edit profile''. It is also possible for other [[Roles]] to edit a users' profile. |
|
| |
|
| “Edit Profile” allows you to change information about yourself. If you click on this you will see a list of fields to fill in. Some of the fields are quite straightforward, which is why they are explained altogether.
| | Please see [[Add a new user]] for more information about profile settings. |
| | |
|
| |
|
| While editing your profile, click on “Update profile” in order to save the information.

| ==MANDATORY FIELDS==
| | [[es:Editar Información personal]] |
| | | [[fr:Modifier mon profil]] |
| ===First name, Surname===
| | [[ja:プロフィールの編集]] |
| | | [[de:Nutzerprofil bearbeiten]] |
| The first two fields are quite self-explanatory. The first and last names that you supply should be those that you wish to be known by on the course. They will be used by the tutors to identify you when grading work and responding in forums and other activities.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ===Email address===
| |
| | |
| The email address should be the address you wish to use to receive acknowledgements and messages from the system, and is also the address that is displayed to your tutors and other users of the moodle site, assuming that you have set the "Email display" option to allow other participants in your course to see your address, so it should be a mail address that you check regularly. Other email display options are to hide your mail address from all users, or to make it available to all users on the moodle system, not just members of the courses you are enrolled in.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ===Email display===
| |
| | |
| This controls the visibility of the address to others, allowing you to show or hide your email in the class. There are three options: you can set it so that all users (including guests) could see your email, or so that only other students in the class could see your email address, or so that no one could see your email address at all.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ===Email activated===
| |
| | |
| You can either enable or disable emails being sent to your address.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ===Email format===
| |
| | |
| For the messages to come into your mailbox, you can choose between "Pretty HTML format" (which means that the messages will be formatted with different fonts and colours to make them easier to read) and "Plain text format" (plain text with no fancy formatting or colours).
| |
| | |
| | |
| ===Email digest type===
| |
| | |
| This setting allows you to choose how you want to receive any emails you get from forums.
| |
| | |
| There are three possible choices:
| |
| | |
| * '''No digest'''
| |
| | |
| There is no email digest created – you will get every post, in full, that is made to a forum that you are subscribed to.
| |
| | |
| * '''Complete'''
| |
| | |
| This creates a single email digest of all the posts made to a forum you are subscribed to. You will get one email per day containing all of the posts made to the forum.
| |
| | |
| * '''Subjects'''
| |
| | |
| This creates a single email digest that contains just the subject lines from the posts to any forums you are subscribed to. You can go to any topic that you are interested in.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ===Forum auto-subscribe===
| |
| | |
| This setting lets you decide if you want email copies of posts that are added to forums (bulletin boards). If you set this to subscribe, the system will email you copies of new posts in forums that you join.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ===Forum tracking===
| |
| | |
| Enabling forum tracking means highlighting the posts you have not read yet, which should improve your forum navigation.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ===When editing text===
| |
| | |
| This can usually be left on “Use HTML editor (some browsers only)”. This allows for text formatting options, but requires newer browsers. If you find your browser is not letting you edit text, change this setting to “Use standard web forms”.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ===City/town; Country===
| |
| | |
| These fields are used to further identify you by geographical location. The default for country on this server is
| |
| | |
| | |
| ===Timezone===
| |
| | |
| This field is used to convert time-related messages on the system (such as assignment deadlines) from the server local time to the correct time in whichever zone you have selected.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ===Preferred language, Preferred theme===
| |
| | |
| E-Learning server can display in several different languages and colour themes, which you can choose from in these two options.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ===Description===
| |
| | |
| In this field you can enter some text about yourself, be it information about your studies, hobbies, qualifications or anything else that does not break the acceptable use policy of this site. This text will be visible to anyone that views your profile
| |
| | |
| | |
| ==OPTIONAL FIELDS==
| |
| | |
| There is a number of optional fields that can be filled in.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ===Current picture===
| |
| | |
| If you have already uploaded a picture, you can delete it ticking the field 'Delete' near your current picture.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ===New picture===
| |
| | |
| If you wish, you may upload a picture to represent you. To do this, click on the “Browse” button and find the picture you would like to upload, and click on “Open.”
| |
| | |
| | |
| ===Web page, ICQ number, Skype ID, AIM ID, Yahoo ID, MSN ID===
| |
| | |
| You can also put some more personal information about you such as your identification number on any of the above Internet services.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ===ID number, Phone 1, Phone 2, Address===
| |
| | |
| These options are reserved for teachers only. The field "ID number" is used to create a number that can be used to interface with other programs. Moodle itself does not use this number internally, so in many cases, this field can be left blank.
