Note for Contributors This page should explain what can be seen on the moodlesite.com/user/edit.php 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.
“Edit Profile” allows you to change information about yourself. If you click on this you will see a list of fields to fill in. Most of the fields are straightforward, but several need special attention.
Email display
This allows you to show or hide your email in the class. You can set it so all users (including guests) can see your email, or so that only other students in the class can see your email address, or so that no one can see your email address at all.
Email digest type
This setting allows you to choose how you want to receive any emails you get from forums.
There are three 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.
When editing text
This can usually be left on “Use HTML editor.” 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.”
Description
This can be anything you like – “Teacher,” “Mr. Riordan – CVCA,” or any text you like.
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.” When you are finished, click on “Update profile.” You will now see your updated profile. To get back to your class, click on the short class name in the upper left (in my case, CMPTR101): This should take you back to the basic screen.
