Edit profile

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. Some of the fields are quite straightforward, which is why they are explained altogether.

Obligatory fields

First name, Surname, Email address

The first three fields are quite self-explanatory. Here you will write the basic information about you.

Email display

This allows 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 the email address.

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.

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.

Optional fields

There is a number of optional fields that can be filled in.

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.”

Address

The last four are reserved for teachers only.

To save the information you , click on “Update profile.” You will now see your updated profile.
