User pictures
Every user on Moodle is able to have their own personal profile picture (or "avatar") which can be uploaded via their profile. If no picture has been uploaded then the default is:
Viewing all user pictures
- An administrator can do a quick check of the user pictures by typing in the browser http://www.YOURMOODLESITE.com/userpix when logged in as admin.
- Moodle.org has a modified version of this http://moodle.org/userpics/ - which shows to everyone the profile pictures of the 150 most recent logged-in users.
Updating user pictures
Users can update their picture by editing their user profile if this has not been disabled by the administrator in Settings > Site administration > Security > Site policies.
Uploading user pictures in bulk
An administrator can upload a zip file containing user images in Settings > Site administration > Users > Accounts > Upload user pictures.
- The image files should be named after the username, the idnumber or the id of the student (along with the correct image file extension.) For example, a student with the username jbrown98 would have a picture called jbrown98.jpg
- Image types supported include gif, jpg, and png.
- Image file names are not case sensitive.
