Setting up your profile
Your digital identity - setting up your profile in Moodle
To edit your profile and other preferences...
Click on your name at the top right and choose "Preferences" and select "Edit profile"
When you have finished making changes, click on "Update profile" at the bottom of the page to finish and save.
Your profile contains information about you that other users can see by clicking on your name. Profile information can include the description of yourself (if you have entered one) your name, location, email address (if you chose to make it accessible) and the list of courses you are enrolled in and a picture. You can edit your profile by clicking your name and using the 'edit' tab, or click on "Edit Profile" in the course administration block. Boxes marked in 'red' are the most important ones:

The image file will be cropped to a square and resized down to 100x100 pixels.
